摘要:学习倦怠现象反映了当代大学生消极的学习心理，直接关系到这一代学生的学习质量（孙晓莉，2007：Ⅱ）。然而在赢得众多学者的青睐的同时，对独立学院的研究却非常之少。本文采用问卷调查法，对独立学院进行研究。研究对象选定华南师范大学增城学院英语专业学生。
本文旨在通过调查,对华南师范大学增城学院英语专业学生的学习倦怠情况有更加清楚的认识。本文围绕实际倦怠情况和诱因这两大问题进行研究，并提出了相应建议。结果显示：（1）华南师范大学增城学院英语专业学生的整体学习倦怠情况处于中等水平。（2）学习倦怠总体情况在性别上没有明显差异，但在三个不同的维度上有明显差异。即女性行为不当和低成就感程度更高，男性则情绪低落程度更高。（3）年级越高，倦怠总体程度越高。（4）影响倦怠最大的因素是个人和人际因素，学校因素次之，家庭因素位居第三，社会因素影响最小。
