However, the learning situations of University students are quite worrisome in view of the fact that a increasing number of university students have lost their interests in learning, and start to ditch classes,even get addicted to online games and consequently drop out of the university. Many researches have confirmed that the loss of learning interests and negative learning attitudes are very common among Chinese university students. This phenomenon has drawn much attention from numerous scholars and educators, and they deem that the negative attitude and inappropriate behavior which also called Learning Burnout is a main hidden danger to university students' learning. It will damage the health of university students mentally and physically, and even hinder the development of the higher education of our nation as a consequence.
