In recent years, among students of leading universities, there has been an alarming dynamics of deterioration of their psychological state, which is expressed, among other things, in the suicidal behavior of students. Indicators of subjective well-being and internal motivation of students are not only at a low level, but also continue to decline with each year of study, while according to the self-determination theory, high efficiency (providing the ability to study in a highly selective university) should be supported by exactly these factors. In connection with this contradiction, the question arises: is the influence of subjective well-being and motivation on a person's success as unambiguous as it is commonly believed, or are there different profiles of motivational and emotional regulation that allow you to gain high achievements? This article is devoted to the study of the impact of the relationship between subjective well-being and various types of academic motivation on the level of academic achievements. The results of cluster and comparative analysis of the obtained data are presented. The sample of the study consisted of 209 students of bachelor's and master's degrees of various specialties of HSE. Statistical analysis showed that combinations of negative affect with extrinsic motivation and positive affect with intrinsic motivation contribute to the formation of two alternative profiles that do not affect academic success and involvement, but are reflected in the level of student well-being. It is noteworthy that the distinctive characteristics of students with high academic performance are high motivation for achievement and low negative affect. The problematic issues of well-being and motivation in the academic environment are discussed, the question of the problematic nature of external motivation in the university for the well-being of students is raised.
