Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the socio-cognitive antecedents of academic burnout within a causal model.
Methods: This research employed a correlational design using structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of all adolescent high school students in Firoozabad during the 2020–2021 academic year. A total of 285 students were selected through multistage cluster random sampling. Data were collected using the Academic Burnout Scale, Toronto Alexithymia Scale and NEO Personality Inventory. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling, and the mediating role was examined through the bootstrap procedure in AMOS.
Results: Personality traits had a direct effect on alexithymia as well as an indirect effect on academic burnout through the mediating role of alexithymia. Additionally, alexithymia had a direct effect on academic burnout.
Conclusions: Personality traits and alexithymia are key constructs in explaining academic burnout.
