摘要

In recent years, amid escalating social competition, "lying flat" (tang ping) has emerged as a prevalent social phenomenon that impedes both individual development and societal progress. However, despite its widespread impact, empirical research examining the "lying flat" phenomenon remains scarce, particularly concerning potential alleviation strategies. The present research employed a two-phase design to examine the mechanisms underlying the "lying flat" tendency and its mitigation measures: a correlational study assessing nature connectedness (Study 1) and an experimental validation (Study 2). (1) Nature connectedness negatively predicted the "lying flat" tendency; (2) self-esteem served as a partial mediator in this relationship; and (3) dispositional awe positively moderated the effect of nature connectedness on self-esteem and negatively moderated the effect of nature connectedness on "lying flat" tendency. These findings extend our understanding of the "lying flat" phenomenon and suggest promising avenues for intervention, providing implications for both policy development and practical interventions in addressing this emerging social issue.
