The purposes of this study were not only to examine relations between personality traits and emotion regulation strategies and burnout of music therapists, but also investigate the effects of personality traits and emotion regulation strategies on burnout of them. For those purposes, the investigator conducted a survey with 103 music therapists across the nation and analyzed the responses. The research findings were as follows: first, there were no significant differences in the general characteristics(age, marital status) of music therapists and some of their professional characteristics, namely therapist career, place of work, type of work, and number of sessions. Significant differences were found in the kinds of certificate. Secondly, the study examined relations between their personality traits and burnout and found that there were positive correlations between neurosis and burnout and negative correlations between extroversion, affinity, and conscientiousness and burnout. Thirdly, with regard to the relations between emotion regulation strategies and burnout, there were negative correlations between the cognitive, behavioral, and experiential strategies and burnout. When the subfactors were considered, burnout had positive correlations with thinking negatively, thinking of criticizing others, expressing negative emotions to others, binge eating, and doing activities of addiction potential. Finally, the study looked into the effects of personality traits and emotion regulation strategies on burnout and found that they had 60.3% of explanatory power with statistical significance. Neurosis had the biggest influence on burnout, being followed by thinking negatively, doing activities for diversion, binge eating, expressing emotions and getting sympathy, and thinking of criticizing others in the order.
