Cross-sectional survey reveals divergent impacts of involution subtypes on anxiety in college students, suggesting achievement motivation buffers psychological distress.

Key Points

To quantify involution behavior among university students and evaluate how distinct forms of involution relate to anxiety.
Administered qualitative interviews and cross-sectional survey questionnaires to Chinese college students (N=535).
Categorized involution behaviors across motivational dimensions and evaluated their predictive associations with measured anxiety.
Identified three distinct types of involution behavior: achievement-motivated (primary), reward-oriented, and passive engagement.
Total involution behavior scores, reward-oriented involution, and passive involution correlated significantly and positively with anxiety.
Passive involution exerted a significant positive predictive effect on anxiety, whereas achievement-motivated involution exerted a significant negative predictive effect.
