Longitudinal Impact of Parenting on Grit: Serial Mediating Effect of Gratitude and Life Satisfaction.
Article in International journal of psychology : Journal international de psychologie, 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
Despite previous research demonstrating the importance of positive parenting in fostering adolescents' grit levels, very little is known about the longitudinal pathway and underlying mechanism of this relationship. Therefore, we conducted a three-wave longitudinal study over 18 months among a sample of Chinese adolescents. Guided by the bioecological model of human development, the internal working model, and the broaden-and-build theory, we tested a serial mediation model of gratitude and life satisfaction in the parenting-grit link. A total of 660 adolescents (aged 11-15 years, mean age = 12.56 years, 46.51% girls) from Southern China responded to the paper-and-pencil questionnaire. Results supported the hypothesised serial mediating effect. That is, adolescents with positive parenting (indicated as more parental care, encouraging autonomy, and less control) tended to report higher levels of gratitude, which further promoted greater life satisfaction, and subsequently strengthened their grit levels. These findings highlight the role of gratitude and life satisfaction as joint mediating factors in the relationship between positive parenting and grit. Interventions focused on improving adolescents' grit that incorporate positive parenting practices could benefit from the approaches targeting parents' need-supportive behaviour and adolescents' psychological well-being.
