Stress Mindset and Self-connection in Business School
In July 2020, Psychological Reports published our study of how stress mindset and self-connection relate to burnout and life-satisfaction among business school students. Our study found that viewing stress as debilitating was related to more personal and school-related burn out, while self-connection was related to less personal burnout and greater life-satisfaction. Stress mindset and self-connection also interacted to predict both personal and school burnout. The results suggest that promoting adaptive views of stress and becoming more self-connected may lead to a better student experience.
