School burnout remains a prevalent problem among adolescents; it is associated with low academic achievement and school dropout risk, in turn linked to a whole host of deleterious developmental outcomes. The current longitudinal study sought to better understand the developmental course of school burnout by testing whether poor sleep and problematic internet use each uniquely and additively explained the variance in school burnout over time.
Data were collected four times over 18 months, 6 months apart from N = 405 adolescents, grades 9 to 11.
Sleep quality, but not quantity, was significantly associated with the school burnout intercept (β = -0.29); no effects were found for the slope. Problematic internet use was also significantly associated with the intercept (β = .44), but not the slope. In a combined model, both sleep quality and problematic internet use significantly predicted the school burnout intercept. The slope was only predicted by age (β = -0.21).
The study found partial support for the hypotheses that both poor sleep quality and problematic internet use predicted school burnout, intercept only, not the rate of change. The evidence suggests that school burnout increased across high school; however, the rate of increase slowed with age. In contrast to some previous work, study findings highlight the importance of separately considering both poor sleep and problematic internet use in understanding the development of school burnout during adolescence. N = 229.
学校倦怠仍然是青少年中普遍存在的问题；它与学业成绩低和辍学风险相关，进而与一系列不良发展结果相关。本纵向研究旨在通过测试睡眠质量差和网络使用问题是否分别且累加地解释学校倦怠随时间的变化，更好地理解学校倦怠的发展过程。
数据来自于 405 名 9 至 11 年级的青少年，在 18 个月内进行了 4 次收集，每次间隔 6 个月。
睡眠质量而非数量与学校倦怠的截距显著相关（β=-0.29）；斜率没有影响。网络使用问题也与截距显著相关（β=0.44），但与斜率无关。在综合模型中，睡眠质量和网络使用问题均显著预测学校倦怠的截距。斜率仅受年龄预测（β=-0.21）。
研究结果部分支持了以下假设：睡眠质量差和网络使用问题均仅预测学校倦怠的截距，而非变化率。证据表明，高中期间学校倦怠程度不断增加；然而，随着年龄的增长，增加速度减缓。与之前的一些研究不同，研究结果强调了分别考虑睡眠质量差和网络使用问题对于理解青少年时期学校倦怠发展的重要性。N=229。
