As society has evolved, student burnout has become a common problem in schools around the world, including in China. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to explore whether resilience is related to student burnout in China and to examine the changing trend of resilience and student burnout. Moreover, we will assess gender differences and possible biases, including publication biases, small-study biases, gray literature biases, and decline effects. This meta-analysis included 34 studies, with a total of 81 effect sizes and a total sample size of 22,474. We found that resilience was negatively correlated with student burnout in the Chinese context. We also found evidence of gray literature bias in student burnout, which needs to be verified by subsequent studies. However, we found that there were decline effects in resilience, possibly because, as culture evolves, people become more focused on themselves; thus, their collective behaviors decline, leading to a decrease in their ability to adapt to the collective and the environment. We also found similar decline effects at the individual level; that is, resilience might decrease with individual age stages (from the primary to college stage), which might be related to the use of immature defense mechanisms against stress by students.
随着社会的发展，学生倦怠已成为包括中国在内的世界各地学校的一个普遍问题。因此，本研究的目的是探讨在中国复原力是否与学生倦怠相关，并考察复原力和学生倦怠的变化趋势。此外，我们将评估性别差异以及可能存在的偏差，包括发表偏倚、小研究偏倚、灰色文献偏倚和衰退效应。这项荟萃分析纳入了34项研究，共有81个效应量，总样本量为22474。我们发现，在中国背景下，复原力与学生倦怠呈负相关。我们还发现了学生倦怠方面存在灰色文献偏倚的证据，这需要后续研究加以验证。然而，我们发现复原力存在衰退效应，可能是因为随着文化的演变，人们更加关注自身；因此，他们的集体行为减少，导致其适应集体和环境的能力下降。我们在个体层面也发现了类似的衰退效应；也就是说，复原力可能会随着个体年龄阶段（从小学到大学阶段）而下降，这可能与学生使用不成熟的应激防御机制有关。
