Abstract :
The purpose of the present study was the relationship between self-compassion and psychological flexibility with academic burnout of students. This research is descriptive-correlational in terms of its basic purpose and in terms of research method. The statistical population of the present study was all the students of Seraj Higher Education Institute in the academic year of 2023-2024, from which 321 people were selected and studied according to the Morgan table and the available sampling method. To collect data, Berso et al.'s academic burnout questionnaire Bund et al.'s psychological flexibility questionnaire and Nef's self-compassion scale were used. Data analysis was done by Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis (step by step). The results of the research showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between self-compassion and the components of self-kindness, human sharing, mindfulness, and psychological flexibility with students' academic burnout. Also, there is a positive and significant relationship between self-judgment, isolation and grandiosity with academic burnout in students. Also, the results of the regression analysis showed that the variables of self-compassion, isolation, magnification, mindfulness and psychological flexibility are able to predict changes in academic burnout in students. Attention to self-compassion and psychological flexibility play an important role in reducing students' academic burnout.
