Abstract: Objective Based on ARCS learning motivation model, the influencing factors of medical undergraduates' willingness to participate in scientific research were analyzed. Methods A total of 1 123 undergraduates from a local medical university were selected as research participants by multi-stage stratified sampling. SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. Principal component analysis was used for dimension reduction of scale indicators. Results Girls were more willing to participate in scientific research than boys (OR=0.713, P<0.05). The grade of students was inversely correlated with their willingness to participate in scientific research (OR =3.419, P<0.05). Eight motivation variables, namely academic achievement, scientific research interest, personal comprehensive ability, learning methods, professional requirements, confidence in scientific research achievements, satisfaction of participating in scientific research projects, and application of relevant knowledge to solve problems, had a significant positive correlation with the willingness to participate in scientific research (OR=1.781,OR =2.574,OR =1.834,OR =1.186,OR =1.747,OR =1.880,OR =1.683,OR =1.774, all P<0.05). Conclusions The influence of demographic characteristics and motivation factors on medical undergraduates' willingness to participate in scientific research varies to a certain degree.
