Abstract:
Objective To examine the impact of academic pressure,self-esteem,and their interactive effect on student burnout.Methods A total of 1 497 middle school students were investigated with three questionnaires.Results The scores of academic pressure,self-esteem,exhaustion,cynicism,efficacy were 9.95 ± 4.52,21.90±5.04,11.84±4.05,10.84±4.88,20.60±5.47 respectively.Results indicated that the main effects of academic pressure and self-esteem on student bumout were significant.Specifically,academic pressure affected exhaustion (β =0.467,P＜0.01) and efficacy (β=0.134,P＜0.05) ; self-esteem affected cynicism (β=0.588,P＜0.01) and efficacy (β=0.549,P＜0.01).Self-esteem moderated the impact of academic pressure on student burnout(β=-0.216,P＜0.01).The impact of academic pressure on student burnout became lower when their self-esteem grows.Self-esteem moderated the impacts of academic pressure on exhaustion and efficacy,but the moderate effect of selfesteem on the influence of academic pressure on efficacy was very small and could be neglected.Conclusion Academic pressure,self-esteem affect student burnout,and self-esteem moderate the influence of academic pressure on student burnout negatively.
