Abstract

Abstract: This study aimed to reveal the causal relationships
between perfectionism, goal orientations, unconditional selfacceptance, and academic burnout through a proposed causal
modeling based on cognitive foundations that adopted the path
analysis method to explain academic burnout. The study
sample consisted of (620) male and female students at AlBalqa Applied University. To achieve the objectives of the
study, a set of tools was used: the academic burnout scale, the
perfectionism scale, the goal orientation scale, and the
unconditional self-acceptance scale. The results showed that
there were direct, positive relationships between the six
dimensions of perfectionism and academic burnout as a whole,
except for the relationship after worrying about mistakes and
academic burnout as a whole, which had a negative effect.
Other indirect relationships were also shown between the six
dimensions of perfectionism, the dimensions of goal
orientations, unconditional self-acceptance, and academic
burnout.
