When winning costs your peace: How does vertical individualism Hijack relaxation capacity? Network analysis and mediation models
Overview
This study examines how vertical individualism contributes to rest intolerance among Chinese university students, challenging traditional collectivist explanations. Using network analysis and mediation models on data from 550 participants, the authors identify status anxiety as a key bridge node linking competitive cultural values to the inability to relax. The findings suggest that competitive values exacerbate rest intolerance through status anxiety, offering theoretical insights for psychological interventions in higher education.
