ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effects of motivation-based academic group psychotherapy on psychological and physiological academic stress responses. Indicators of academic stress were the psychological measures of academic burnout and physiological measures of salivary cortisol. The intervention group was expected to show higher salivary cortisol levels initially and that both measures of academic burnout and salivary cortisol would decrease post-intervention. After the first measurement, the intervention group received group psychotherapy, and the comparison group received no treatment. Means, standard deviations, and correlation coefficients were calculated and general linear modeling was conducted. No initial between-group difference was detected in salivary cortisol. Post-intervention, signs of academic burnout decreased in the intervention group, mostly for cynicism. However, salivary cortisol increased in both groups. Accordingly, possible mechanisms and implications are discussed.

 抽象的

本研究调查了基于动机的学术团体心理治疗对心理和生理学术压力反应的影响。学业压力的指标是学业倦怠的心理指标和唾液皮质醇的生理指标。预计干预组最初会表现出较高的唾液皮质醇水平，并且学业倦怠和唾液皮质醇的测量值在干预后都会下降。第一次测量后，干预组接受团体心理治疗，对照组不接受治疗。计算平均值、标准差和相关系数并进行一般线性建模。唾液皮质醇没有检测到初始组间差异。干预后，干预组的学业倦怠迹象有所减少，主要是因为愤世嫉俗。然而，两组的唾液皮质醇均增加。因此，讨论了可能的机制和影响。
