Adaptation and validation of the Chinese versions of the childhood perceived poverty and wealth questionnaire(C‑CPPWQ) and the childhood perceived unpredictability questionnaire (C‑CPUQ).
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChildhood subjective socioeconomic status (operational definition of harshness) and unpredictability significantly influence life history strategies and subsequent psychological and behavioral patterns. Existing research on Chinese populations has been limited by inconsistent metrics and inadequate measurement items. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Chinese versions of the Childhood Perceived Poverty and Wealth Questionnaire (C-CPPWQ) and the Childhood Perceived Unpredictability Questionnaire (C-CPUQ), addressing cultural differences and expanding measurement subjects.
methodsWe conducted Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with 493 students and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with 1217 students to validate the factor structures. Concurrent validity was assessed using correlations with life history strategies (Mini-K) and childhood trauma (CTQ-SF) and reliability were also evaluated.
resultsThe C-CPPWQ's two-factor model (perceived wealth and perceived poverty) demonstrated good fit (CFI = 0.95; TLI = 0.94; SRMR = 0.05; RMSEA = 0.08) and strong internal consistency (alpha = 0.90), with significant correlations with Mini-K (r = -0.28, p < 0.001) and childhood trauma (r = 0.29, p < 0.001). The C-CPUQ's three-factor model (Unpredictability of Parenting, Unpredictability of External Environment, and Unpredictability of Daily Happening) also showed a good fit (CFI = 0.96; TLI = 0.95; SRMR = 0.04; RMSEA = 0.07) and high reliability (alpha = 0.95), with significant correlations with Mini-K (r = -0.39, p < 0.001) and childhood trauma (r = 0.72, p < 0.001).
conclusionsThe newly adapted 14-item C-CPPWQ and 16-item C-CPUQ for Chinese contexts exhibit satisfactory psychometric properties, making them valuable tools for researching and evaluating childhood adversity.
