Previous studies suggest that personality traits play an important role in academic burnout. The aim of this study was to investigate how Cloninger's temperament and character traits explain academic burnout in a highly competitive environment of medical school.
A total of 184 Korean medical students participated in the survey. The Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory was measured around the beginning of the semester and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey at the end of the semester. The correlations and stepwise regression analysis were conducted to explain the association between personality traits and academic burnout. In addition, latent profile analysis and profile analysis were employed to distinguish and explain differences of personality traits among latent academic burnout subgroups.
The higher harm avoidance of temperament and lower self-directedness and cooperativeness of character predicted the subscales of academic burnout in medical students. The Temperament and Character Inventory personality profile of high, middle, and low latent burnout subgroups were significantly different.
This study showed that personality might account for the burnout level in medical education. The importance of character dimension for modulating the effects of temperament traits on academic burnout was discussed for future research.
先前的研究表明人格特质在学业倦怠中起重要作用。本研究的目的是探讨在医学院高度竞争的环境中，克隆宁格的气质和性格特质如何解释学业倦怠。
共有184名韩国医学生参与了调查。在学期初测量克隆宁格气质与性格量表，在学期末测量马氏倦怠量表-学生版。进行相关性和逐步回归分析以解释人格特质与学业倦怠之间的关联。此外，采用潜在剖面分析和剖面分析来区分和解释潜在学业倦怠亚组之间人格特质的差异。
气质中较高的回避伤害以及性格中较低的自我导向和合作性可预测医学生学业倦怠的分量表。高、中、低潜在倦怠亚组的气质与性格量表人格剖面存在显著差异。
本研究表明人格可能是医学教育中倦怠水平的影响因素。为未来研究讨论了性格维度在调节气质特质对学业倦怠影响方面的重要性。
