Exploring the Interplay Between Self-Identity, Affective Style, Emotion Regulation, and Anxiety: Based on Bayesian Network Model.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the complex relationships between self-identity, affective style, emotion regulation, and intolerance of uncertainty (IU) in predicting anxiety. A model was proposed to integrate these factors, investigating their combined influence on anxiety.
methodInvolving 608 university students who completed self-report measures of self-identity, affective style, emotion regulation, IU, and anxiety. Network analysis and Bayesian network modeling were used to identify direct and mediating effects among these variables.
resultsNetwork analysis revealed that self-identity, affective style, and IU directly predicted trait anxiety, with adjusting affective style emerging as a central factor. Bayesian network modeling further showed that IU and affective style mediated the impact of self-identity on anxiety. Notably, emotion regulation did not mediate the relationship between affective style and anxiety, suggesting a possible spurious correlation. The model achieved a predictive accuracy of 90.13% for trait anxiety and 88.49% for state anxiety.
conclusionThe findings highlight the central role of self-identity in anxiety interventions, while also emphasizing the importance of addressing affective styles and IU. The results suggest that emotion regulation strategies alone may not directly reduce anxiety, indicating a need for more comprehensive clinical approaches.
