Abstract:

To explore the relationship between growth mindset and academic burnout among rural junior high school students, as well as the roles of academic buoyancy and self-control in this relationship, a survey was conducted on 933 rural junior high school students using the Growth Mindset Scale, Academic Buoyancy Scale, Self-Control Scale, and Academic Burnout Scale. The results indicated that: (1) Growth mindset had a negative predictive effect on academic burnout among rural junior high school students; (2) Academic buoyancy and self-control played separate mediating and chain mediating roles, respectively, in the relationship between growth mindset and academic burnout among rural junior high school students. This study has positive implications for understanding the formation mechanism of academic burnout among rural junior high school students and developing coping strategies.
