Bidirectional relationship between autonomy need satisfaction and "lying flat" among Chinese youth.
Objective: Amid China's competitive social environment, young people increasingly perceive "involution" as undermining autonomy, with some asserting that "lying flat" serves as an autonomy-restoring strategy. Here, we attempted to explore whether unmet autonomy needs drive "lying flat" or if "lying flat" genuinely fulfils individuals' autonomy need through empirical research.
Method: We combined a large-sample questionnaire survey (Study 1) and a longitudinal follow-up study (Study 2) to investigate the relationship between individuals' autonomy need satisfaction and "lying flat".
Results: In Study 1, we found that there was a significant negative correlation between individuals' autonomy need satisfaction and "lying flat". More importantly, the cross-lagged analysis in Study 2 found that individuals' autonomy need satisfaction negatively predicted "lying flat" 1 month later, and "lying flat" also negatively predicted individuals' autonomy need satisfaction 1 month later.
Conclusions: These findings revealed a bidirectional negative prediction relationship between individuals' autonomy need satisfaction and "lying flat", which challenge the folk viewpoint that "lying flat" satisfies autonomy needs.
