The effects of school psychological capital and achievement emotions on behavioral engagement of Chinese secondary mathematics learners: a structural equation modeling approach.

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
Background: School psychological capital (PsyCap), the positive psychological state or psychological resources displayed within school contexts, has been shown to correlate positively with achievement emotions, engagement, and subjective well-being. Few studies, however, have investigated whether achievement emotions mediate the association between school PsyCap and behavioral engagement. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the emotional underpinnings linking students' school PsyCap to their behavioral engagement in mathematics classrooms. Self-report data on mathematics-related PsyCap resources, enjoyment, anxiety, and behavioral engagement were collected from 1135 Chinese secondary school students aged 12-15 years (M Results: The findings revealed that higher levels of school PsyCap and positive emotional experiences were positively correlated with greater behavioral engagement in mathematics learning. Conversely, negative emotions were negatively associated with engagement. SEM analyses indicated that achievement emotions (enjoyment and anxiety) partially mediated the association between school PsyCap and behavioral engagement. Conclusion: Students with higher levels of school PsyCap exhibited greater positive achievement emotions and lower levels of negative emotion in mathematics classes, which, in turn, were associated with higher levels of behavioral engagement. These findings highlight the importance of fostering students' school PsyCap to enhance their emotional well-being and engagement in mathematics learning.
