Life stress and academic burnout
Stress has been shown to negatively affect learning. Academic burnout is a significant problem associated with
poor academic performance. Although there has been increased attention on these two issues, literature on
the relationship between students’ life stress and burnout is relatively limited. This study surveys academic
burnout and life stresses among college students and further assesses whether reports of life stresses can
serve as a predictor of academic burnout. The “Undergraduate Life Stress Scale” and “Learning Burnout
Scale” are used as research tools, and data from 2640 students were collected. The results showed that both
the level of students’ burnout and stress are in general not serious. Female students and upper year students
reported higher values of life stresses. The self-identity stress, interpersonal stress, future development
stress, and academic stress could jointly predict student academic burnout.
