Objective:To explore the relationship between gratitude and academic burnout incollege students,as well as the role of psychological well-being and proactive coping in their relationship.Methods:A total of 1 038 college students from 4 universities were selected andassessedwith the Gratitude Scale(GQ-6),Flourishing Scale(FS),Proactive Coping Scale(PCS)and Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey(MBI-GS).SPSS macro pro-gram Process and Bootstrap method were used to test the mediating effect.Results:The MBI-GS scores were higher in boys than in girls(P<0.01),and higher in those with left behind experience thanin those without left behind ex-perience(P<0.001).The GQ-6 scores were negatively associated with the MBI-GS scores(β=-0.19,P<0.001).PCS scores played an independent mediating role between GQ-6 scores and MBI-GS scores(Indirect effect=0.05,95%CI=0.02-0.09),while the scores of psychological well-being and proactive coping had a chain mediating effect between gratitude scores and academic burnout scores(Indirect effect=0.06,95%CI=0.03~0.01).Conclusion:It suggests that gratitude is related to academic burnout in college students,and proactive cop-ing plays an independent mediating role,while psychological well-being and proactive coping play a chain media-ting role.
