In an effort to explain the factors contributing to the development of student burnout, a construct that has received attention in relation to academic outcomes, including burnout, is emotion regulation. Further, attachment theory has been used to explore the variations in the use of particular emotion regulation strategies, and attachment has received support as a contributing factor. The aim of the study is to explore the role of attachment security and emotion regulation strategies associated with student burnout symptoms in a sample of 602 Romanian children and adolescents (55% female) aged 8-16 (M = 10.45) from 18 schools. A secondary objective was to explore the gender differences in burnout symptoms. The results show that attachment security negatively predicts student burnout symptoms. Further, a higher attachment security positively predicts the use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies, which, in turn, are negatively related to student burnout. Emotion regulation strategies mediate the relationship between attachment and burnout symptoms. No gender differences have been identified. The study has practical implications for both parents and specialists, bringing to attention the importance of secure attachment in children, which could further encourage the use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies.
为了解释导致学生倦怠的因素，情绪调节这一与包括倦怠在内的学业成果相关的概念受到了关注。此外，依恋理论已被用于探究特定情绪调节策略使用方式的差异，且依恋作为一个促成因素得到了支持。本研究的目的是在来自18所学校的602名8至16岁（平均年龄M = 10.45）的罗马尼亚儿童和青少年（55%为女性）样本中，探究依恋安全性和与学生倦怠症状相关的情绪调节策略的作用。第二个目标是探究倦怠症状中的性别差异。结果表明，依恋安全性对学生倦怠症状具有负向预测作用。此外，更高的依恋安全性正向预测适应性情绪调节策略的使用，而适应性情绪调节策略又与学生倦怠呈负相关。情绪调节策略在依恋与倦怠症状之间起中介作用。未发现性别差异。该研究对家长和专家均具有实际意义，使人们注意到儿童安全依恋的重要性，这可能会进一步鼓励使用适应性情绪调节策略。
