| Summary: | This study aims to explore the interrelationships among key factors influencing learning burnout, such as motivation and negative emotions (depression, anxiety, and stress) along with other factors influencing including problematic mobile phone use, nomophobia, and interactive learning, as well as whether their pathways of influence on learning burnout differ between online and offline learning contexts. Using the convenience sampling method, data from 293 college students were collected. Measurements were carried out using the Nomophobia Scale, the Problematic Mobile Phone Use Scale, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS), the Interactive Learning Scale, the Learning Burnout Scale, and the Scale of Motivation for Activity Participation. By applying network analysis and network comparison methods, and based on the Social Comparison Theory and the Affective Socialization Heuristics Model, it was found that under the online learning condition the motivation to pursue value directly affects learning burnout. In contrast, under the offline learning condition learning motivation indirectly affects learning burnout through negative emotions. This study posits that this difference is caused by peer comparison. In a collective learning atmosphere, students’ comparison with their peers triggers negative emotions such as anxiety and stress. These negative emotions weaken the learning motivation to pursue value, ultimately resulting in an elevated level of learning burnout. |
