(1) Background: Increased stress and study overload during adolescence could be related to academic burnout. Anxiety sensitivity of students seems to affect burnout levels, while emotional intelligence enables emotion management under stressful conditions. The objective of this study is to analyze the roles of anxiety sensitivity and emotional intelligence in academic burnout. (2) Methods: In this quantitative cross-sectional study conducted in Spain, the sample comprised 1287 high school students aged 14 to 18 who filled out the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey, the Spanish version adapted for high school students of the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3, and Brief Emotional Intelligence Inventory. (3) Results: Anxiety sensitivity was significantly higher in cynicism and emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, the mediation analysis showed that high anxiety sensitivity directly affected student exhaustion, cynicism, and efficacy levels. These effects were mediated mainly through stress management but also through the effect of stress management on mood, both emotional intelligence factors. (4) Conclusions: The academic changes that occur during high school hinder engagement and performance. Promoting the development of emotional skills would enable young people to manage their emotions when they become overwhelming and diminish their lack of interest and exhaustion in the classroom.
(1) 背景：青少年时期压力增加和学习负担过重可能与学业倦怠有关。学生的焦虑敏感性似乎会影响倦怠程度，而情绪智力则使他们能够在压力条件下进行情绪管理。本研究的目的是分析焦虑敏感性和情绪智力在学业倦怠中的作用。
(2) 方法：这是一项在西班牙进行的定量横断面研究，样本包括 1287 名 14 至 18 岁的高中生，他们填写了《马斯拉赫倦怠量表-一般调查》、针对高中生的《焦虑敏感性指数-3》西班牙语版和《简明情绪智力量表》。
(3) 结果：在玩世不恭和情绪耗竭方面，焦虑敏感性明显更高。此外，中介分析表明，高焦虑敏感性直接影响学生的疲惫、玩世不恭和效能水平。这些影响主要通过压力管理来介导，但也通过压力管理对情绪的影响来介导，这两个都是情绪智力因素。
(4) 结论：高中期间发生的学业变化会阻碍学生的参与和表现。促进情绪技能的发展将使年轻人能够在情绪失控时管理自己的情绪，并减少他们在课堂上的兴趣和疲惫感。
