Cover Story: School burnout can seriously undermine students’ academic careers. However, previous studies found that protective factors such as academic resilience might lessen its adverse effects. The study aims to deepen the influence of the classroom environment and the satisfaction felt by the student on relationships with teachers and classmates by exploring the link between resilience and burnout and the moderating role of relationship satisfaction with teachers and classmates. Taken together, our results highlight that resilient students were less prone to extreme forms of maladjustment. Moreover, high levels of satisfaction on relationships with classmates boost the protective role of academic resilience toward burnout. Future studies should address the role of both contextual and individual factors to minimize burnout risk. View this paper.
