Sitting alone with one’s thoughts could foster a sense of rest and relaxation, yet many find this activity difficult. In two preregistered experiments (Study 1: n = 266, Study 2: n = 369), we focused on autonomy-supportive and controlling framings of solitude as drivers of motivation for solitude, positive experiences such as enjoyment and relaxation, negative experiences such as frustration and boredom, and negative thoughts like worries and rumination. We used R programme to analyse our data. All audio recordings, study materials, and analytical scripts are shared on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/fszfw/). The link listed in the published open access version is not the correct link; the journal has been notified of this.
This paper has been published. I want to make sure my codes are reproducible for future verification of my findings.
Whether codes run on their computer. Please follow the instruction on the Wiki of the OSF page; this is very important.
