Description

The presence of mental health risk factors may result in long-term consequences. Studyholism, an emerging condition characterized by excessive overstudying, was investigated in this cross-sectional study using multiple questionnaires to assess studyholism, satisfaction with life, and burnout among 1,355 participants. The results showed that women reported higher levels of exhaustion, studyholism, and study engagement compared to men. The mediation analysis demonstrated that burnout partially mediated the relationship between studyholism and life satisfaction. Pearson’s correlation analysis identified a positive association between studyholism, study engagement, and burnout, as well as a negative association between life satisfaction, studyholism, and study engagement. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex nature of mental health.
