Psychological Resilience Buffers Against the Curvilinear Relationship Between Stressful Life Events and School Burnout in Adolescence
Stressful life events have harmful effects on adolescents'adaptive development.The current study focused on school burnout,to further investigate the association of stressful life events with school burnout,and whether psychological resilience served as a buffer.On a large sample of 3309 adolescents,we demonstrated that there existed a curvilinear relationship between stressful life events and school burnout.Rather,as stressful life events accumulated,the rate of elevation of school burnout shifted from fast to slow.The pattern of change was characterized by saturation model.Psychological resilience could buffer the implications of stressful life events for school burnout.In specific,the relationship between stressful life events and school burnout was weaker for adolescents with low level of psychological resilience than for the adolescents with high level of psychological resilience.Also,psychological resilience could become more protective against school burnout as adolescents are exposed to more stressful life events.However,psychological resilience could not moderate the curvilinear relationship between stressful life events and academic efficacy.These findings support the saturation model rather than the thresh model,and provide evidences for the framework of positive and negative adaptive indicators.
