agotamiento académico, estudiantes, extraversión, neuroticismo, bienestarResumen
El agotamiento académico es común entre los estudiantes universitarios; sin embargo, la exploración de la relación entre los rasgos de personalidad y el agotamiento sigue siendo limitada en el contexto malasio. Este estudio exploró la relación entre la extraversión, el neuroticismo y el agotamiento académico en estudiantes universitarios de Malasia, mediada por la depresión. Sesenta y cuatro estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad de Nottingham Malasia (83% mujeres; edad media = 21.2 ± 1.75 años) completaron varios cuestionarios validados que evaluaban los rasgos de personalidad (Inventario de los Cinco Grandes), el agotamiento académico (Encuesta de Estudiantes del Inventario de Agotamiento de Oldenburg) y el bienestar psicológico (Escala de Bienestar General). Se realizaron correlaciones de Pearson y bayesianas para examinar las relaciones correlacionales, mientras que los análisis de mediación con bootstrapping corregido por sesgo (1,000 iteraciones, IC del 95%) evaluaron los efectos indirectos. Los análisis revelaron que una mayor extraversión se correlacionó con un menor neuroticismo y un menor agotamiento académico, mientras que un mayor neuroticismo predijo un aumento del agotamiento. Dos modelos de mediación mostraron que la depresión medió la asociación entre el neuroticismo y el agotamiento académico, mientras que la extraversión no lo hizo. Nuestros hallazgos indican que la depresión actúa como un vínculo entre el neuroticismo y el agotamiento académico en los estudiantes universitarios malasios. Las universidades deberían priorizar intervenciones de regulación emocional y talleres de inteligencia emocional para los estudiantes con alto nivel de neuroticismo, a fin de prevenir eficazmente el agotamiento académico.
