Avoid and Rule: Selective Sociality Scale for Understanding Introverted Personality in a Digitally Socialized World.
Article in European journal of investigation in health, psychology and education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
(1) Background: The rapid expansion of information technology and globalization has significantly transformed psychosocial health, with excessive internet use and the pursuit of social acceptance via social media amplifying the impact of social factors, leading to both positive and negative psychological outcomes. This paper introduces "selective sociality," a new psychological construct focused on mindful social engagement and digital interaction to maintain psychosocial health in the digital era, supported by a valid psychometric instrument: the Selective Sociality Scale (SSS). (2) Methods: The current research was conducted in a series of eight consecutive phases involving 1737 participants (Mean age = 24 years, SD = 7.66; women = 53.3%). The validation of the SSS involved exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses along with convergent, divergent, and predictive validity. (3) Results: The SSS demonstrated excellent reliability (α = 0.838; ICC = 0.954). The model fit indices, such as CFI (0.962), TLI (0.952), RMSEA (0.059), and SRMR (0.043), showed strong validity. The scale exhibited strong convergent validity with the Efficient Social Intelligence Scale. Selective sociality predicted positive personality traits and mental health but inversely predicted depression, anxiety, and stress. (4) Conclusions: The SSS offers valuable insights for both clinical practice and research.
