Four studies assessed the potentially detrimental effects that restrictions to collective autonomy (i.e., a group's freedom to determine and practice its own identity) may have for the personal autonomy and psychological well-being of group members. In Study 1, using 3 distinct samples (N = 123, N = 129, N = 370), correlational and cross-cultural evidence indicates that perceived restrictions to the collective autonomy of one's group is directly associated with reduced personal autonomy, and indirectly associated with diminished well-being through personal autonomy. In Study 2 (N = 411), a longitudinal assessment of group members over 3 time-points during a 4-month period found that group members who perceived greater collective autonomy restriction also experienced reduced personal autonomy, and in turn, reduced psychological well-being over time. In Study 3 (N = 255), group members described a time during which their ingroup had (or did not have) its collective autonomy unduly restricted by other groups. Participants who were primed to think that their group lacked collective autonomy reported reduced feelings of personal autonomy, and reduced psychological well-being (compared with those primed to think their group had collective autonomy). In Study 4 (N = 389), collective autonomy was manipulated within the context of an intensive laboratory simulation. Collective autonomy-restricted group members experienced less personal autonomy than those who did not have their collective autonomy restricted. Together these findings suggest that restrictions to a group's collective autonomy may have detrimental consequences for the personal autonomy and psychological well-being of group members.

四项研究评估了限制集体自主性（即群体自由决定和实践自身身份的能力）可能对群体成员的个人自主性和心理健康产生的潜在不利影响。在研究 1 中，使用了三个不同的样本（N=123，N=129，N=370），相关和跨文化证据表明，感知到对自己群体的集体自主性的限制与个人自主性的降低直接相关，并且通过个人自主性与幸福感的降低间接相关。在研究 2（N=411）中，对 4 个月期间的 3 个时间点的群体成员进行了纵向评估，发现感知到更大的集体自主性限制的群体成员也经历了个人自主性的降低，并且随着时间的推移，心理健康状况也随之降低。在研究 3（N=255）中，群体成员描述了他们的内群体（或没有）被其他群体不当地限制了集体自主性的时期。被提示认为他们的群体缺乏集体自主性的参与者报告说个人自主性降低，心理健康状况降低（与那些被提示认为他们的群体有集体自主性的参与者相比）。在研究 4（N=389）中，在密集的实验室模拟中对集体自主性进行了操纵。集体自主性受限的群体成员的个人自主性低于不受限制的群体成员。这些发现表明，限制群体的集体自主性可能对群体成员的个人自主性和心理健康产生不利影响。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2018 APA，保留所有权利）。
