Relationships among resilience, career adaptability and career decision self-efficacy in university students: a two-wave longitudinal mediation study.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundResilience, career decision self-efficacy, and career adaptability are university students' important personal resources in coping with the challenges they face in the career development process. No longitudinal studies have examined the relationships and possible mediating mechanisms between these resources. Therefore, based on career construction theory, the current study aims to explore the longitudinal relationships between resilience, career decision self-efficacy, and career adaptability and to examine if career decision self-efficacy has a mediating role in the relationship between resilience and career adaptability.
methodsThe participants of the study consisted of 376 (239 female, 137 male; M
resultsThe findings of the study showed that while resilience at T1 significantly predicted career decision self-efficacy at T2, career decision self-efficacy at T1 significantly predicted career adaptability at T2 in university students. The results of the cross-lagged panel model also showed that career decision self-efficacy played an important mediating role in the longitudinal relationship between resilience and career adaptability.
conclusionsThis longitudinal study is believed to advance research based on career construction theory by contributing to a better understanding of the longitudinal relationship between resilience and career adaptability through mediating mechanisms. The study also emphasizes the importance of strengthening university students' personal resources in their career development process. The findings of the study indicate important implications for both theoretical and career counseling practices.
