Abstract
This study aims to 1) evaluate the level of self-blame for academic performance among graduate students, 2) assess the level of academic burnout among graduate students, 3) examine the relationship between self-blame for academic performance and academic burnout, and 4) explore the predictive power of self-blame for academic performance on academic burnout. This research employed a survey research design. The sample consisted of 406 graduate students enrolled in the 2024 academic year at a university in Northern Thailand. Participants were selected through quota sampling from three academic disciplines; Science and Technology, Health Sciences, and Humanities and Social Sciences. The research instruments included; 1) the Self-blame for Academic Performance Scale, which consists of 12-item rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = very low to 5 = very high), with a reliability coefficient of .903, and 2) the Burnout Syndrome Scale among graduate students (BOSS), which consists of 26 items rated on a 5-point scale (0 = never to 4 = always), with a reliability coefficient of .918. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, percentage, frequency, and standard deviation, and inferential statistics, including Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results revealed that self-blame for academic performance was positively correlated with academic burnout at a statistically significant level of .01 (r = .616). Furthermore, the two components of self-blame for academic performance-behavioral self-blame and self-attribute blame—together predicted 42% of the variance in academic burnout. Characterological self-blame was the only significant predictor of academic burnout at the .001 level (β = .612).
