The research instrument was the academic burnout questionnaire (Schaufeli, Martinez, Pinto, Salanova & Bakker, 2002) and the data were analyzed by methods of repeated measures analysis of variance and bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS-19 software.Findings: The results showed that all three methods of intervention, namely self-determination education, art education and combining education of self-determination and art significantly led to reduce the academic burnout of fifth grade elementary male students and the results were maintained in the follow-up phase (P<0.05).

Purpose: This study aimed to predict positive and negative attitudes to delinquent behavior based on academic burnout, anxiety, stress, and depression in high school male students.Methodology: The research method was descriptive-correlational, and the statistical population included all students studying in male high schools in the Nair city in the academic year 2017-18. One hundred twenty of them were selected by the cluster sampling method and answered the questionnaires of attitude toward delinquent behavior Fazli (2010), Maslach Burnout Inventory (2002) and Lovibond, Lovibond of stress, anxiety, and depression scale (1995) (DASS-42). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression methods. Findings: The result showed that academic burnout and depression (p <0.01) and anxiety (p <0.05) were inversely correlated with a negative attitude to delinquent behavior and directly related to a positive attitude to delinquent behavior. The results of multiple regression analysis also showed that academic burnout, anxiety, and depression were able to explain 24% of the variance of positive and 16% of negative attitude toward delinquent behavior.Conclusion: Academic burnout, anxiety, and depression in high school male students affect attitudes toward delinquent behavior. Given the present findings, it is necessary to consider the role of academic burnout, depression, and anxiety in future planning to reduce the attitude toward delinquent behavior.
