The role of emotional intelligence in shaping pre-service teachers' cultural beliefs.
Article in PloS one, 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
Cultural beliefs and emotions have become recognised aspects of the teaching profession. This study examined the association between emotional intelligence (EI) and cultural beliefs using self-reported survey data collected from pre-service teachers at the beginning of their studies (N = 777). These pre-service teachers entered teacher education in 2021 and were studying in five different Finnish universities that geographically represent four regions in Finland. The results from the confirmatory factor analysis and the multiple linear regression suggested the four dimensions of EI positively predict the latent factors of both multicultural and egalitarian beliefs. The relationships between the constructs exhibited moderate effect sizes, with slightly stronger associations found for multicultural beliefs (β = 0.38) compared to egalitarian ones (β = 0.26). Moreover, the 'using emotions' dimension of EI significantly and positively predicted pre-service teachers' multicultural beliefs; the use of emotions to guide thinking significantly predicted beliefs favouring cultural diversity. The study provides further empirical evidence for the influence of emotions on beliefs, and stresses the need to address topics pertaining to democratic education more explicitly and consistently in pre-service teacher education.
