Description (Abstract)
Burnout is among one of the many problems in college students. The conditions that lead to burnout in college students have been studied in numerous ways which primarily put an emphasis on the individual’s demographics and characteristics, including employment status, self-esteem, self-efficacy, gender, living expenses, and the degree of study. However, the impact of class level and social support have gotten little attention. This study aims to examine the effect that social support and class level has on burnout. The participants will be sampled from a commuter college in the suburban northeast, in psychology classrooms. Participants will be asked to provide data on burnout, social support and class status. Data analysis will be conducted by early April. The results will be available by the time of the conference. The study can help identify the ways social support relates to burnout in both lower- and upper-class students.
