Abstract: This study explored the predictive role of cognitive flexibility and optimism on academic burnout and perceived stress among Bangladeshi medical students. A total of 250 participants (49.6% female, 50.4% male; M_age = 22.55, SD = 1.63) were recruited from various medical institutions using a purposive-incidental sampling method.
