Exploring the mediating effect of feedback self-efficacy between students' self-feedback behavior and academic proficiency.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Self-feedback and feedback self-efficacy are imperative components of self-regulated learning; few studies have investigated their combined impacts on academic achievement. This study examined the predictive effects of self-feedback behaviors, feedback self-efficacy, and academic proficiency using a questionnaire survey from 665 Chinese high school students across Chinese, English, and mathematics subjects. Structural equation modeling showed that only use feedback (UF) directly predicted academic proficiency, while both process feedback (PF) and use feedback (UF) demonstrated indirect effects mediated through feedback self-efficacy. At the same time, seek feedback (SF) was not a significant predictor in direct and indirect effect tests. Multi-group SEM analysis further explored gender differences in the effects; male students hold stronger predictive power of PF over feedback self-efficacy, while female students with feedback self-efficacy could achieve greater academic success. These results recognize the critical effects of feedback self-efficacy in translating students' self-feedback behavior into their academic performance. The study empirically supports the self-system model and emphasizes the need for differentiated feedback instructional strategies among male and female students. It also contributes to scale studies of the recently published Self-feedback Behavior Scale (SfBS), by further supplementing evidence for its reliability and cross-gender applicability using a different dataset. The findings indicate that differentiated instructional strategies are necessary to empower students with more effective self-feedback strategies and personal beliefs; by doing this, students could better benefit from the feedback process and achieve substantial academic growth.
