Abstract: To explore the associations among class group attachment (anxiety and avoidance), self-compassion, and leaning burnout, and examine the mediating role of self-compassion in the association between class group attachment and learning burnout, this study investigated a sample of 658 junior middle school students by using the Learning Burnout scale, Social Group Attachment scale (toward class collective), Self-Compassion scale, Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, Life Satisfaction scale, and Grade Satisfaction. Results from regression analyses revealed that:after controlling for the demographic variables, attachment to parents and peers, life satisfaction and grade satisfaction, (1) both class group attachment anxiety and avoidance positively related to learning burnout; (2) self-compassion negatively predicted learning burnout; and (3) self-compassion mediated the association between class group attachment anxiety and learning burnout partially, and association between class group attachment avoidance and learning burnout fully. These findings contribute to understanding learning burnout among junior middle school students from group attachment and self-compassion.

Key words: junior middle school students, class group attachment, self-compassion, learning burnout
