In the Chinese cultural context, technological tools, social expectations and interpersonal ethics converge to give rise to a distinctive digital phenomenon—compulsory connectivity.

Drawing on Self-Determination Theory, Social Surveillance Theory, the Need to Belong Theory and Sheldon's Dual-Process Model, this study systematically analyses the psychological mechanisms and behavioural outcomes of compulsory connectivity. It proposes the Compulsory Connectivity Psychological Adaptation Model (CCPAM), which illustrates how basic psychological needs are frustrated under such conditions, leading individuals—via motivational, emotional and cognitive mediators—towards either an exhausting withdrawal path or an adaptive reconstruction path.

Community residents act as key participants in the reverse recycling of express packaging, and their recycling behaviours directly influence the effectiveness of related initiatives. Although community-based express packaging recycling is increasingly common, the potential role of residents' sense of community psychological ownership in motivating such behaviours remains underexplored. This article presents a serial mediation model to examine how community psychological ownership is activated through strategies that reduce psychological distance. Across four studies (n = 820), we find that community psychological ownership significantly and positively affects consumers' willingness to recycle express packaging, both directly and indirectly through the serial mediation of community attachment and perceived responsibility. These results offer theoretical insights and practical guidance for implementing green logistics initiatives in community settings.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147568699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
