A Study on the Formation Mechanism of Academic Burnout among Deferred Doctoral Students Based on Grounded Theory
Academic burnout of deferred doctoral students seriously affects the quality of talented personnel cultivation in higher education.Through in-depth interviews with 18 doctoral students at the stage of deferment and with the qualitative analysis based on grounded theory,this paper identifies implicit culture,institutional norms,scientific research characteristics,external environment,and individual personal features as the five major influence factors of the academic burnout of deferred doctoral students,which are further categorized into two dimensions,namely,the dimension of environmental factors and that of individual factors.Under the interaction between individual factors and environmental factors,a"psychological activity field"for the overall perception of the environment forms among deferred doctoral students.The negative emotional experience in the"psychological activity field"affects the perceptual level and behavioral performance of individual academic burnout.The authors model a formation mechanism of the academic burnout of deferred doctoral students,based on which,they propose some coping strategies,i.e.those for guiding doctoral students to take the initiative to cultivate the spirit of striving,creating a tolerant and mutual-help academic atmosphere,paying attention to the academic growth of doctoral students,and improving the quality of academic socialization of doctoral students.
