- Abstract
With the increasing academic competition, the problem of academic burnout, which has serious negative effects on students’ physical and mental health, has become more prominent. Previous studies have proved that the attachment relationship, as a factor that can affect people’s internal working mode, significantly impacts academic burnout. This study used four scales (Adult Attachment Scale, Academic Burnout Scale, Self-Esteem Scale, and Self-Efficacy Scale) to measure the four psychological performances (i.e., adult attachment, academic burnout, self-esteem, and self-efficacy) of 266 college students, with self-esteem and self-efficacy as mediating variables, and to explore the influence mechanism of attachment styles on academic burnout. The results show that self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the impact of attachment relationships on academic burnout, but the mediating function of self-esteem is not significant. This research explored the relationship and influence mechanism between attachment relationship and academic burnout. The future study should expand the sample size, enrich the sample hierarchy, or use long-term follow-up surveys to further confirm the results of this research.
