The Longitudinal Relationship Between Perfectionism and Academic Burnout Among Middle School Students:The Mediating Role of Self-Kindness
To investigate the relationship between perfectionism,self-kindness,and academic burnout among middle school students,this study conducted three longitudinal surveys(labeled as T1,T2,and T3)over one semester among 427 middle school students using questionnaire methodology.Cross-lagged analysis and longitudinal mediation analysis were applied to explore the relationship between different types of perfectionism and academic burnout,as well as the mediating role of self-kindness.The results showed that:1)negative perfectionism positively predicted academic burnout;2)negative perfectionism at T1 negatively predicted self-kindness at T2,while self-kindness at T2 negatively predicted academic burnout at T3;3)self-kindness at T2 played a mediating role between negative perfectionism at T1 and academic burnout at T3.The findings of this study indicate that negative perfectionism has a significant impact on academic burnout among middle school students,in which self-kindness serves as a mediator.These results have practical implications for effectively intervening in academic burnout among middle school students.
