Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Internet and cell-phone addictions and academic burnout in Birjand University students. The research method was a descriptive correlational. The research population included all the undergraduate students of Birjand University (8591 people) studying during the academic year of 2014-15. Based on Krejcie and Morgan's table, 370 people were chosen as the research samples using a cluster sampling method. To collect the data, Young's Internet addiction questionnaire, Young-Koo's cell-phone addiction questionnaire, and Berso’s academic burnout questionnaire were used. For data analysis, Pearson's correlation and regression were applied. The results were indicative of a positive significant relationship between cell-phone and Internet addictions and academic burnout. Also the regression result revealed that Internet addiction was a predictor of academic burnout and cell-phone addiction was a predictor of academic exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy.
