Abstract

The present study investigated effects of perfectionism, depressive rumination (DR), and worry on academic burnout in university students. In addition mediating roles of depressive rumination and worry was explored. A sample of 515 students (237 females, 278 males) with age range of 17-27 years; (M = 20, SD = 1.66) were included from various government and private universities of Lahore. The research instruments used were: Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R; Slaney, Rice, Mobley, Trippi, & Ashby, 2001), Rumination Response Scale (Treynor, Gonzalez, & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2003), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (Meyer, Miller, Metzger, & Borkovec, 1990), and Indigenous Burnout Scale (Ijaz & Khan, 2012). Results revealed a significant positive relationship between perfectionism (standard/order) and worry. Moreover a significant positive relationship was also found among perfectionism (discrepancy), depressive rumination, worry, and academic burnout. The mediation analysis showed that depressive rumination and worry significantly mediated the relationship between perfectionism and academic burnout. The present study highlighted the need for studying different dimensions of perfectionism and also identifying the causes of depressive rumination and Worry in student population which have been found to be leading to academic burnout.

完美主义与学业倦怠：大学生焦虑和抑郁沉思的中介作用

本研究调查了完美主义、抑郁沉思（DR）和担忧对大学生学业倦怠的影响。此外，还探讨了抑郁沉思和忧虑的中介作用。515名学生（237名女性，278名男性）的样本，年龄范围为17-27岁；（M=20，SD=1.66）来自拉合尔的多所政府和私立大学。使用的研究工具有：修订的几乎完美量表（APS-R；Slaney、Rice、Mobley、Trippi和Ashby，2001年）、反刍反应量表（Treynor、Gonzalez和Nolen-Hoeksema，2003年）、宾夕法尼亚州立大学担忧问卷（Meyer、Miller、Metzger和Borkovec，1990年）和土著倦怠量表（Ijaz和Khan，2012年）。结果显示完美主义（标准/秩序）与担忧之间存在显著的正相关关系。此外，完美主义（差异）、抑郁沉思、担忧和学业倦怠之间也存在显著的正相关关系。中介分析表明，抑郁沉思和担忧在完美主义与学业倦怠之间具有显著的中介作用。本研究强调了研究完美主义不同维度的必要性，并确定了学生群体中抑郁沉思和担忧的原因，这些原因已被发现会导致学业倦怠。

期刊介绍： Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
