Samoocena i zaspokojenie podstawowych potrzeb psychologicznych jako predyktory wypalenia akademickiego wśród studentek pedagogiki specjalnej
Self-esteem and satisfaction of basic psychological needs as predictors of academic burnout among female special education students

Summary/Abstract: Academic burnout is a complex phenomenon that is detrimental to in-dividual well-being. According to previous research reports, a high level of burnout symptoms in students is increasingly recognised. The aim of the study was to attempt an empirical diagnosis of the phenomenon of academic burnout in female special education students, as well as to determine the strength and direction of the relation-ship between the individual components of academic burnout and self-esteem, and the satisfaction of the three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, rela-tedness). The research implemented the method of diagnostic survey. The research tools used were: OLBI-S, Rosenberg’s SES scale and the Polish version of the BP-NSFS. As a result, relationships between self-esteem and academic burnout as well as academic burnout and satisfaction of the need for autonomy and competence were demonstrated. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that adequately high levels of self-esteem and satisfaction of basic psychological needs – especially the need for autonomy and competence – may contribute to lowering the level of academic burnout among female special education students.
