Psychological Combustion and its Relationship to Psychological Rigidity Among Students of the Faculty of Applied Education in the State of Kuwait

Abstract

Psychological combustion is a modern concept that has attracted the attention of researchers in the fields of psychology, mental health, and clinical medicine. Researchers have attempted to study it alongside other important topics, and perhaps the concept of psychological resilience is one of those topics. In the current study, the researcher adopted the Maslach Combustion Inventory (15 paragraphs) and the Al-Shabrawy Resilience Inventory (39 paragraphs). The psychometric properties of each were extracted and their domains were investigated using exploratory factor analysis on a sample of (230) female students from the College of Applied Education at Kuwait University. The results of the study showed that the female students do not suffer from combustion and have a high degree of psychological resilience, and that there is a statistically significant correlation between combustion and psychological resilience.
