The frustration of competence, one of the three basic psychological needs proposed by self-determination theory, has been widely demonstrated to negatively influence one's motivation and well-being in both work and life. However, research on the recovery mechanism of competence is still in the nascent stage. In this study, a two-stage behavioral experiment was conducted to examine the restoration of competence and the potential moderating role of resilience. Results showed that individuals who were asked to recall experience of competence frustration performed better on subsequent tasks, manifesting their behavioral efforts of competence restoration. However, resilience does not play a significant moderating role in competence restoration. Through convergent behavioral evidence, findings of this study demonstrate the compensation effect of competence frustration.
受挫感是自主性理论提出的三种基本心理需求之一，大量研究表明它会对工作和生活中的个人动机和幸福感产生负面影响。然而，关于能力恢复机制的研究仍处于起步阶段。本研究采用两阶段行为实验，考察了能力受挫后的恢复及其潜在的恢复力的调节作用。结果表明，要求个体回忆能力受挫经历会使他们在后续任务中表现更好，表现出他们对能力恢复的行为努力。然而，恢复力在能力恢复中并没有起到显著的调节作用。通过收敛性行为证据，本研究的结果证明了能力受挫的补偿效应。
