Background:
Academic burnout refers to students who have low interest, lack of motivation, and tiredness in studying. Studies concerning how to prevent academic burnout are rare.
Objective:
The present study aimed to investigate the impact of core self-evaluations on the academic burnout of university students, and mainly focused on the confirmation of the mediator role of life satisfaction.
Methods:
A total of 470 university students accomplished the core self-evaluation scale, Satisfaction with Life, and academic burnout scale.
Results:
Both core self-evaluations and life satisfaction were significantly correlated with academic burnout. Structural equation modeling indicated that life satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between core self-evaluations and academic burnout.
Conclusions:
Core self-evaluations significantly influence academic burnout and are partially mediated by life satisfaction.
