Abstract:
Objective:To examine the relationship between college students'core self-evaluation and academic burnout,and to provide empirical support for intervention strategies.Methods:A two-point longitudinal study was conducted with 245 medical students over a period of 18 months(T1:May 2023,T2:November 2024)to assess participants'core self-evaluation level using the Core Self-Evaluation Scale(CSES),and the overall burnout level u-sing the Academic Study Burnout Inventory(ASBI).Cross-lagged panel model was applied to examine the bidirec-tional causal relationship.Results:The cross-lagged results showed that core self-evaluation score in T1 negatively predicted academic burnout score inT2(β=-0.21,P<0.01),and academic burnout score in T1 also negatively predicted core self-evaluation score in T2(β=-0.20,P<0.05).Conclusion:Core self-evaluations and academic burnout exhibit a reciprocal predictive relationship over time.
