Abstract:

This research aims to investigate the parallel mediating role of intolerance of uncertainty and positivity on the relationship between self-compassion and school burnout. Hypotheses were tested in a sample of 304 Turkish adolescents using mediation analysis (Mage = 14.63).The research consists of data obtained during the lockdown caused by Covid-19 in Türkiye. An online measurement tool was applied to the sample, including self-compassion, intolerance of uncertainty, positivity, and school burnout. The results showed that intolerance of uncertainty and positivity mediated the indirect effect of self-compassion on school burnout. Investigating both negative and positive psychological variables in explaining school burnout can support interventions and policies to be planned in the school environment.
