This study explored the mediating effect of coping styles in the relationship between psychological capital and learning burnout. We used a cluster sampling method to recruit 647 college students, who completed the Psychological Capital Scale, the Learning Burnout Scale, and the Chinese Trait Coping Style Questionnaire. Linear regression analysis was used to explore the role of positive coping and negative coping, and a bootstrapping analysis was used to verify the mediation effect. The results showed that there were negative correlations between learning burnout and psychological capital, and between positive coping and learning burnout, and that there was a positive correlation between negative coping and learning burnout. In sum, positive coping and negative coping were partial mediators of the relationship between psychological capital and learning burnout. Implications of the findings are discussed
