English-learning stress and performance in Chinese college students: A serial mediation model of academic anxiety and academic burnout and the protective effect of grit.

Moreover, our results also support Hypotheses 3 and 4: academic anxiety is a positive predictor of academic burnout ( β = 0.47, p < 0.001), and the serial mediation pathway, “English-learning stress → academic anxiety → academic burnout → English academic performance” ( β = −0.02, SE = 0.01, 95%CI = [−0.04, −0.00]) is marginally significant and can explain 7.14% of the variance.
