“…Fifth, according to Hodge et al (2008), there are no clear criteria for interpreting scores on the ABQ (Raedeke & Smith, 2001). The cut-off points for high burnout established in this study seem reasonable given those used in previous research on athlete burnout (Raedeke, 1997) and the criterion of ‘three’ (Eklund & Cresswell, 2007). They are, however, based on arbitrary criteria for detecting burnout and should not therefore be treated as the basis for its diagnosis (Maslach et al, 1996).…”

“…Normative data were computed using the ABQ by dividing samples into three equally sized groups representing ‘low’, ‘average’, and ‘high’ levels of burnout, consistent with researchers using other, well-established measures of burnout (e.g., Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996). Eklund and Cresswell (2007) suggest that scores of 3 or above on each subscale of the ABQ could be indicative of burnout in athletes. These two criteria were used to identify respondents with high levels of burnout in the present study.…”

While there is a growing body of research concerning the well-being of music students, burnout and engagement remain largely unexplored. Likewise, cross-national variations in approaches to music education, and different educational experiences of men and women may influence burnout and engagement. This preliminary study aimed to inform further research by establishing the levels of, and exploring cross-national and sex differences in burnout and engagement in music performance students at conservatoires in Australia, Poland and the UK (N=331). Self-reported levels of burnout were, typically, low to moderate. Nevertheless, one in ten students reported symptoms such that they could be classified as burned out. Australian and UK students displayed more burnout than students in Poland, although Australian students reported lower levels of reduced sense of accomplishment than Polish and UK students. Self-reported engagement was, typically, moderate to high. Students in Poland reported higher levels of engagement than those in the UK. Women displayed higher levels of global burnout and 2 emotional/physical exhaustion, while men reported lower levels of reduced sense of accomplishment. Further research on burnout and engagement could build on this investigation to gain a better understanding of their impact and the influence of the educational experience on students' music-related well-being.

“…Athlete burnout is a syndrome involving feelings of emotional and physical exhaustion, reduced sense of accomplishment, and sport devaluation (Raedeke & Smith, 2009). Burnout can develop over time and is associated with various maladaptive motivational, emotional, and cognitive consequences (e.g., Eklund & DeFreese, 2020;Goodger et al, 2007;Gustafsson et al, 2017). Given the intense levels of commitment and desire that passionate athletes have toward their sport, researchers have examined if passionate athletes are prone to experiencing burnout and if their susceptibility to burnout is related to HP and OP.…”

Athletes can respond to positive experiences in sport by engaging in savoring—that is, by attempting to prolong or amplify their positive feelings. In this research, the authors tested if savoring was predicted by levels of harmonious or obsessive passion for sport and if savoring was associated with symptoms of burnout. In Study 1 (n = 499), the authors found that savoring was positively associated with harmonious passion and negatively associated with obsessive passion. In addition, savoring predicted lower levels of burnout and played an indirect role in the relationship between both passion types and burnout. The authors replicated these findings in Study 2 (n = 298), with collegiate-level athletes, prospectively, over the course of a season. Overall, athletes with strong levels of harmonious passion appear to be most likely to engage in savoring, a response that may protect them from experiencing higher levels of burnout.

“…There is a recent interest in burnout and its evolution over the years and its attempt to reduce its occurrence [24,25], and this study offers other perspectives of the theory. Few evidences have been shown so far that speak about the relationships between BPN satisfaction and burnout, but it is needed to use all autonomy subdimensions, taking into account that BPN frustration should be treated as a concept independent of satisfaction.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among basic psychological needs and burnout in a sample of athletes (N = 639). It was hypothesized that psychological needs satisfaction was negatively associated with burnout syndrome and the frustration of these needs related positively. Burnout was measured with the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ), satisfaction of basic psychological needs with the Basic Needs Satisfaction in Sport Scale (BNSSS), and frustration with the Psychological Needs Thwarting Scale (PNTS). Data analysis was conducted under the approach of structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that satisfaction of basic psychological needs had a negative direct effect on burnout of −0.67 (p < 0.001) while the frustration of these needs had a direct effect of 0.18 (p < 0.001). In addition, the total model explained 59% of the total variance of burnout. All individual parameters of the model were statistically significant and the overall fit of the model was satisfactory. It can be concluded that satisfying the basic psychological needs of the athletes can protect them against burnout.
