Abstract
This study aimed to explore the causal relationships between academic parental expectations, academic stress, and school burnout with highlighting the mediating role of academic stress among a sample of 312 female high school students in Taif City. The researcher used the following standardized scales: the Academic Stress Scale by Sun et al. (2011), the Academic Parental Expectations Scale by Sasikala & Karunanidhi (2011), and the School Burnout Inventory (SBI) by Salmela-Aro (2009). The results of the study revealed a strong, statistically significant positive correlation at the 0.01 significance level between school burnout and academic stress. There was also a very weak, statistically non-significant positive correlation between school burnout and academic parental expectations. Additionally, the findings showed a strong, statistically significant direct standardized positive effect at the 0.01 level of academic stress on school burnout, and statistically significant positive full mediation at the 0.01 level from academic parental expectations on school burnout through academic stress. Academic stress and academic parental expectations together explained 50% of the variance in school burnout.
