Abstract

To explore the relationship between passive social media use and learning burnout among middle school students, and the mediating role of parental support in the relationship. Methods: The Passive Social Media Use Scale, the Parental Support Scale and the Learning Burnout Scale were used to investigate middle school students. Results: (1) Passive social media use was significantly negatively correlated with parental support and positively associated with learning burnout; (2) Parental support was significantly negatively correlated with learning burnout. (3) Parental support partially mediates the relationship between passive social media use and learning burnout. Conclusion: Passive social media use has a positive predictive effect on learning burnout, and parental support plays a mediating role between the two.
