Each person receives and experiences stress differently and applies more or less effective ways of coping. However, the lack of such skills can lead to burnout. As Różańska-Kowal (2004) writes, the most important predictor of burnout is stress. Everyone is different, has different resources, so there are differences in how to deal with difficult and stressful situations. Some young people with poor coping strategies try to deal with the overwhelming stress by engaging in problematic behaviors, and this heightens the risk of developing substance or Internet addictions.
The aim of this study was to examine the association between coping strategies (CS), student school burnout (SSB) and problematic use of the Internet (PUI), and to check if SSB may be a mediator between CS and PUI.
Further analyses revealed that a lower level of the problem - focused coping strategies (active coping and acceptance) and a higher level of helplessness and avoidance behaviors are directly associated with addictive Internet behaviors. However, school burnout mediates only links between active coping, helplessness and avoidance behaviors and problematic Internet use. In addition, gender appeared as a moderator between SSB and PUI. Finally, the results suggested that gender plays a significant role in the relationship between the tested variables.
Male adolescents with poor coping strategies were more prone to school burnout and, because of being burned out, were at a higher risk of excessive Internet use. In the female group school, burnout insignificantly predicted problematic Internet use.
每个人承受和体验压力的方式不同，采用的应对方式或多或少有效。然而，缺乏这些技能可能导致倦怠。正如罗赞斯卡 - 科瓦尔（2004年）所写，倦怠最重要的预测因素是压力。每个人都不同，拥有不同的资源，所以在应对困难和压力情况的方式上存在差异。一些应对策略不佳的年轻人试图通过从事问题行为来应对压倒性的压力，这增加了发展物质成瘾或网络成瘾的风险。
本研究的目的是检验应对策略（CS）、学生学校倦怠（SSB）和网络问题使用（PUI）之间的关联，并检查SSB是否可能是CS和PUI之间的中介变量。
进一步分析表明，较低水平的问题聚焦应对策略（积极应对和接受）以及较高水平的无助和回避行为与网络成瘾行为直接相关。然而，学校倦怠仅在积极应对、无助和回避行为与网络问题使用之间起中介作用。此外，性别在SSB和PUI之间起到调节作用。最后，结果表明性别在测试变量之间的关系中起着重要作用。
应对策略不佳的男性青少年更容易出现学校倦怠，并且由于倦怠，过度使用互联网的风险更高。在女性群体中，学校倦怠对网络问题使用的预测作用不显著。
