Abstract

Abstract Maladaptive perfectionism and controlled motivation are vulnerability factors for burnout. This study examined the relationships between two aspects of perfectionism (high standards, discrepancy), four academic motivational orientations (intrinsic, identified, introjected, extrinsic), and academic burnout. The target population was 12th graders in South Korea, and a total of 950 participants were recruited using cluster sampling. Data were collected from three waves of longitudinal study. In particular, the mediating role of academic motivation (T2) in the link between perfectionism (T1) and academic burnout (T3) was tested using structural equation modelling. The results indicated that introjected motivation mediated the relationship between perfectionism and burnout. Specifically, both high standards and discrepancy were positively associated with introjected motivation, and in turn, introjected motivation was positively associated with burnout. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

内倾动机在完美主义与学业倦怠关系中的中介作用

适应不良的完美主义和受控制的动机是倦怠的脆弱因素。本研究考察了完美主义的两个方面（高标准、差异）、四种学业动机取向（内在、确定、内向、外在）和学业倦怠之间的关系。目标人群是韩国的12年级学生，共有950名参与者通过集群抽样被招募。数据是从三波纵向研究中收集的。特别是，使用结构方程模型测试了学业动机（T2）在完美主义（T1）和学业倦怠（T3）之间的中介作用。结果表明，内向动机在完美主义和倦怠之间起中介作用。具体而言，高标准和差异都与内向动机呈正相关，而内向动机又与倦怠呈正相关。讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义。
