Children's Hope Scale: factor structure and norms for Australian children aged 8-18 years.
Article in Australian journal of psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: The Children's Hope Scale (CHS) is a widely used six-item instrument for assessing hope in children. The CHS is thought to contain two dimensions-agency thinking (ability to initiate and sustain action towards goals) and pathways thinking (capacity to find a means to carry out goals)-but there is debate whether the scale is unidimensional rather than bidimensional and the factor structure has yet to be established in Australian children. Method: Results: Bifactor modelling indicated a single-factor structure for the CHS, and the scale demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .86) and was sensitive to age and gender differences. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the CHS is unidimensional and supports its use for the measurement of hope in children and adolescents aged 8-18 years of age.
