چکیده
Article history: Received 30 November 2015 Received in revised form 4 March 2016 Accepted 10 March 2016 Available online xxxx Previous research has linked narcissism with work-related burnout; however, no extant research has explored the relationship between narcissism and school-related burnout. From the standpoint of social mentality theory, narcissism may stem from an overactive threat system and a maladaptive self-soothing system. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between narcissism, self-compassion, and school burnout in a large sample of U.S. college students. Narcissismwas positively associatedwith school burnout. Narcissismhad an indirect effect on school burnout through self-compassion, specifically through the over-identified and isolation components of self-compassion. Overall, the results are consistentwith the notion that narcissism is associated withmaladaptive threat and self-soothing systems and that these are associatedwith school burnout. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
