The research aimed at identifying the relationship between psychological immunity and its relationship with achievement motivation among the students of Al-Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University. The sample consisted of (225) students from the university. The researcher used the psychological immunity scale developed by (Olah, 2000) and was adapted to context by (Zedan, 2013). The researcher also used the achievement motivation scale (Ahmed, 2012). The results showed that there were statistically significant differences on psychological immunity that could be attributed to the differences in the students’ major study between humanities and natural sciences in favor of humanities. Also, there were statistically significant differences on achievement motivation that could be attributed to the students’ major study between humanities and natural sciences in favor of humanities. Furthermore, there were no statistically significant differences on psychological immunity that could be attributed the educational level. In addition, there were statistically significant differences on achievement motivation that could be attributed to the educational level (first versus seventh) in favor of level seven. Finally, a positive correlation was found between students’ scores on psychological immunity scale and all of the dimensions of the achievement motivation scale. (Published abstract)
