1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNegative interactions in collaborative learning can impact students' emotions, making emotion regulation a critical factor. This study investigates the causes of negative emotions in online collaborative learning, explores the underlying reasons for these emotions, and identifies other issues contributing to learners' negative emotional experiences. Additionally, it examines the types of emotion regulation strategies learners employ to manage their emotions and mitigate these challenges.

methodThis study investigates the factors leading to social negative emotions among learners in the online collaborative learning environment and examines the types of emotion regulation learners employ during collaboration. Building on existing research, the study reclassifies socio-emotional problems within the context of online collaboration. It introduces a new scale for measuring negative social emotions in online collaborative learning and a corresponding scale for assessing the instrumental aspects of emotion regulation. Data for the scales and WeChat were collected from 44 learners enrolled in modern educational technology courses at Chinese provincial normal universities.

resultsThe findings indicate that problems related to goal motivation are more likely to trigger learners' social negative emotions. To better cope with these social negative emotions, learners typically employ socially shared regulation. Further analysis through Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis reveals that ER, CoER, and SSER all show significant negative correlations with social negative emotions. Among them, SSER exhibits a stronger negative correlation with social negative emotions and forms the best regression model for negative affect.

conclusionsThese findings enhance our understanding of the sources of negative emotions in online collaborative learning and inform more effective social regulation strategies, which are crucial for improving its overall quality.
