碩士 === 國立體育大學 === 體育研究所 === 104 === The present study aimed to examine the relationships between life stress, automatic negative thoughts, and burnout for college student athletes. This study sampled 312 Division -I college student-athletes (173 male, 139 female), with an average age of 20.43 years (SD =+ 1.68 years) and administered with College Student Athletes Life Stress Scale, Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire. With Pearson product moment correlation and hierarchical regression analyses, it was found college student-athletes’ life stress, automatic negative thoughts, and burnout were all correlated. Also, it was found automatic negative thinking partially mediated student-athletes’ life stress and athlete burnout. This study suggested that coaches and sport professionals should concern with athletes’ life stress and burnout, and specifically the mediating role of automatic negative thoughts.
