Abstract:	This study explored the relationship between psychological well-being and lying-flat tendency using the positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment model. Participants were 519 students from a vocational college in Chengdu, who completed standardized measures assessing emotional states, learning motivation (engagement), peer relationships, meaning in life, self-efficacy (accomplishment), and lying-flat tendency. Correlation analysis revealed that positive psychological factors were negatively associated with lying-flat tendency, while negative emotions were positively related to lying flat. Multiple regression analysis showed that positive emotions, meaning in life, and negative emotions significantly predicted lying flat. Thus, emotional experience and sense of meaning were stronger predictors than motivation, relationships, or self-efficacy. This highlights the importance of emotional and existential factors in addressing disengagement among vocational students, providing a basis for future research and interventions beyond the positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment framework.
