Abstract

The current study was set to to investigate the role of social networking and academic motivation in predicting academic burnout of students. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study consisted of all secondary school students of Ardebil (5600students). Among them 360 of students were assessed applying Cochran formula. Research measurement tools included the Qodsi Social Networking Functioning Questionnaire, Valerend et al., Academic Motivation Questionnaire, Bareso et al., and Academic Burnout Questionnaire. The data gathered were analyzed using SPSS. The results of descriptive analysis showed that students' academic burnout and its components were higher than average. Academic motivation scores were also above average. The results of regression analysis showed that there was significant relationship between overall social network scores and academic motivation with burnout. But among the five dimensions of social networking functions, the increase in social demands in social networks (Beta = 0.33) as well as the generation gap caused by social networks (Beta = 0.15) influenced academic burnout. Also among the dimensions of academic motivation, only the motivational dimension (Beta = 0.43) had an effect on academic burnout.
