Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine burnout among sport psychologists, specifically whether there was a difference in burnout between academic sport psychologists and applied sport psychologists. Fifty Seven participants (Twenty three males, mean age= 36.43, SD 8.13; 34 females, mean age= 33.41, SD 7.79) completed an online survey examining burnout via the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) to specifically examine exhaustion, depolarisation and decrease in personal accomplishment (antecedents of burnout). The results demonstrated that antecedents of burnout were present in both academic and practitioner sport psychologists; in particular decreased personal accomplishment was higher in applied practitioners compared to academics. Furthermore, number of hours spent on research per week predicted higher levels of exhaustion and higher levels of personal accomplishment. Further research should look to develop interventions to help cope and/or decrease the level of burnout within the sport psychology population.
