Psychometric validation of the 20-item K-DOCS in Chinese adolescents: a multi-method approach.

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
Creativity is crucial for addressing new world challenges. The Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale, a widely used self-report scale, assesses distinct creativity facets but lacks validation in adolescents under 18 and is limited by classical test theory (CTT). This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the 20-item Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale (20-K-DOCS) in Chinese adolescents aged 15-18. 3,079 adolescents completed the 20-K-DOCS. CTT, Rasch analysis, and Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) were used to assess reliability and various types of validity. Concurrent validity was examined by correlating 20-K-DOCS scores with Creative Self-Efficacy (CSE). The 20-K-DOCS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (McDonald's omega: 0.91-0.95 per subscale). Rasch analysis supported item validity and optimal functioning. The oblique five-factor model and the ESEM five-factor model indicated satisfactory model fit. ESEM revealed convergent validity and addressed high factor correlations, improving discriminant validity. Significant positive correlations were found between 20-K-DOCS and CSE, particularly in Artistic and Scholarly Creativity. The 20-K-DOCS is a reliable and valid measure of domain-specific creativity in Chinese adolescents. Findings emphasize the importance of domain-specific approaches to creativity assessment and suggest the potential for developing a more concise scale version.
