The aim of this research is to assess the model of academic burnout based on social problem-solving skills, psychological capital, academic conscience, and seeking academic help as well as determine the proposed theoretical model fit with the real data. This study is a descriptive-correlational research with an emphasis on possible causal relationships based on structural equation modeling. The population included senior high school students studying science in their fourth year in the first district of Ardabil during 2016-2017 school year. We used proportional stratified random sampling. The sample size was determined to be 291 participants using Morgan Table. The instruments included “Salmela-Aro and Naatanen’s Academic Burnout Questionnaire”, “D'Zurilla and Nezu’s Social Problem-solving Skills Inventory”, “Luthans’s Psychological Capital Questionnaire”, “Ilroy and Bunting’s Academic Conscience Questionnaire” and “Ryan and Pintrich’s Academic Help-Seeking Scale”. The results consistent with the hypotheses showed that adaptive social problem-solving skills had negative effect on academic burnout. Maladaptive social problem-solving skills and psychological capital had positive effect on academic burnout. In addition, the negative effect of seeking academic help as a mediator in the relationship between adaptive social problem-solving skills and academic burnout was confirmed. Furthermore, the positive effect of seeking academic help as a mediator in the relationship between maladaptive social problem-solving skills and academic burnout was confirmed. Academic conscience, as the mediator between psychological capital and academic burnout, was found to have an indirect and negative effect. And finally, the model with the experimental data from the study has a good fit.

The aim of this research was to survey motivational profiles of students and differences between different groups' profiles on the basis of help seeking, perception of school environment and social goal achievement are studied. In this descriptive study (correlation), research population included 1295 students (653 females and 642 males) of second grade students of high school in Marivan in the academic year 2012-13. Research participants included 274 students (138 females and 136 males) who were selected among high schools using stratified random sampling method. Then four questionnaires as perception of school environment, academic help seeking, social goal achievement& academic burnout were performed by the participants. The gathered data were analyzed via SPSS software using clustered analysis ( k-means cluster method), discrimination function analysis and single sample t-test. The result showed that the first cluster has higher mean in acceptance and lower mean in performance goal orientation, so was named low motivational orientation cluster. Second cluster has higher mean in enjoyment and lower mean in performance goal orientation, so was named high motivational orientation cluster. The result of single simple t- test showed that there was no significance differences between both low and high cluster. In participants of cluster1, score of academic burnout (M=59.40, SD= 71/7) is higher than cluster 2.Therefore, the finding revealed that academic burnout was low in high motivational orientation cluster. This research has implications for educators especially teachers, who can use this results for help to reduce school burnout and improving the students’ achievement.

This study was carried out to predict academic burnout based on quality of college life and hope for employment among university students. The research method of study was correlational descriptive. The statistical community included all undergraduate university students living in Mohaghegh Ardibili University dormitories in academic year 2015-16, among whom there were selected 210 sample individuals using available sampling method. For data collection, there were employed Sirgy et al's questionnaire on quality of college life, Ghoreishirad's questionnaire on hope for employment and Bersos et al's questionnaire on academic burnout. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that there exists a significant negative relationship between the quality of college life and hope for employment in one hand and academic burnout on the other hand. Also regression analysis revealed that academic burnout can be predicted negatively with determination coefficient of %19 by quality of college life and hope for employment. Therefore, it can be concluded that the quality of college life and hope for employment may be taken into account as the important variables in relevance to the academic burnout of the university students

The present research aims to study the relationship between regulating positive and negative emotions and the academic performance and burnout among university students. This was a descriptivecorrelational research. Using cluster random sampling method, ٤٠٠subjects (including ٢٠٠ males and ٢٠٠ females) were selected from among undergraduate students at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili during the academic year ٢٠١١-٢٠١٢. The data was collected using the Academic Burnout Scale and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. The participants’ academic average grade was used to measure their academic performance. The Pierson's Correlation Coefficient and MANOVA were used to analyze the data. Pierson's Correlation Coefficient showed a significant correlation between regulation of positive and negative emotions and students’ performance and academic burnout. Moreover, the analysis of variance results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of regulation of positive emotions and academic burnout. Regulation of positive emotions was stronger among female students, and consequently, their academic burnout was less than that of male students. However, no significant correlation was found between the two groups regarding negative emotions and academic performance.
