Consequences of academic disappointment inventory: confirmatory factor analysis, reliability and convergent validity.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe research literature on academic disappointment and its relationship to student engagement is scarce. This article aims to present the results of a confirmatory factor analysis and the reliability analysis of the Consequences of Academic Disappointment Inventory. It also aims to provide information on the relationship between academic disappointment and other constructs (i.e., academic motivation, perfectionism, self-critical rumination, and negative emotions).
methodsThe current study is a correlational study with a cross-sectional design, and the data were collected via an online platform. A total of 512 Hungarian students participated in the study. Participants were asked to recall a situation in which they received negative feedback and consequently felt disappointed in the past few months of their academic life. They were then asked to complete a series of questionnaires. DISCUSSION: The results show that students experience disappointment with themselves, their performance, and the authority giving the feedback in different ways. Self- and performance-related disappointments are similar in terms of their revealed factor structures (i.e., motivation, lack of motivation, behavioral investment, and lack of behavioral investment). Whereas disappointment with the authority has a different factor structure. The current results also show that academic disappointment can be either an activating or a passivating emotion in terms of its effects on student engagement. Our results revealed a set of significant factors associated with students' engagement in the context of academic disappointment, including feelings of shame and hostility, perfectionism, self-critical rumination, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation for external regulation, and amotivation.
