  • Cross-sectional survey of 498 Chinese undergraduates
  • Standardized questionnaires assessing relevant psychological constructs
  • Structural equation modeling and bootstrapping procedures for analysis
  • Perceived employability positively linked to academic involution behavior
  • Upward social comparison partially mediates this relationship
