The purpose of the study was to investigate the longitudinal relationships between the initial values and slopes of three dimensions of burnout syndrome (i.e. emotional exhaustion, cynicism and academic inefficacy). The study utilized four-wave longitudinal data from a total of 367 (81.6% response rate) middle school students in South Korea. Comprising a 6-month interval survey, the first survey was conducted in June 2010, the second in December 2010, the third in June 2011 and the fourth in December 2011. All participants were 13-year-olds at the first and second surveys, and 14-year-olds at the third and fourth surveys. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey was used for each survey to assess the level of academic burnout. The longitudinal data were analysed using latent growth modelling. The results of the study indicated that high initial values (intercept) for emotional exhaustion were associated with a higher rate of increase (slope) in cynicism and academic inefficacy. On the other hand, high initial values for cynicism and academic inefficacy were associated with a lower rate of increase in the other dimensions. This longitudinal study should promote understanding of burned-out students and contribute to the literature by informing the design of prevention programmes for academic burnout.
该研究的目的是调查倦怠综合征三个维度（即情感耗竭、玩世不恭和学业效能感缺失）的初始值与斜率之间的纵向关系。该研究使用了来自韩国367名中学生（回复率81.6%）的四波纵向数据。第一次调查于2010年6月进行，第二次于2010年12月进行，第三次于2011年6月进行，第四次于2011年12月进行，每次调查间隔6个月。所有参与者在第一次和第二次调查时为13岁，在第三次和第四次调查时为14岁。每次调查均使用马氏倦怠量表-学生问卷来评估学业倦怠水平。纵向数据采用潜在增长模型进行分析。研究结果表明，情感耗竭的高初始值（截距）与玩世不恭和学业效能感缺失的较高增长率（斜率）相关。另一方面，玩世不恭和学业效能感缺失的高初始值与其他维度的较低增长率相关。这项纵向研究应有助于增进对倦怠学生的理解，并通过为学业倦怠预防方案的设计提供信息，为相关文献做出贡献。
