Researchpotentiality was influenced by psychological state, which accounted for 87%of the variance. The most favorable factor in the psychological state wasattitudes towards research, followed by scientific reasoning. Furthermore,psychological trait and situational factor directly affected psychological state,which accounted for 89% of the variance. The most important factor forpsychological trait was consideration of future consequences, followed byacademic habit.
