Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the perception of social injustice with students’ academic motivation and test anxiety. 125 students from the „Džemal Bijedić“ University of Mostar have participated in this study, 70 of whom were female (56 %) and 55 male (44 %). The age range was from 20 to 27 years (M = 21.74, SD = 1.44). The following measuring instruments were used: Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Questionnaire of Perception of Social Justice for Adults (PP-O; Družić Ljubotina, 2009), Academic Motivation Scale (AMS; Hasanagić and Bosankić, 2018) and Test Anxiety Scale (ANX; Lončarić, 2014). The study concluded that the participants who preceive social injustice to a greater extent have lower academic motivation and more pronounced exam anxiety. The results of the study do not confirm the existence of a statistically significant connection between the perception of social injustice and the age and the gender of the participants.
