Cultivating physical literacy and prosocial behavior through basketball: a quasi-experimental study on the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model.

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
backgroundPhysical literacy and social responsibility are crucial educational outcomes that foster lifelong physical activity and prosocial behaviors. The Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model, which is widely applied to cultivate a positive character through sports and movement-based activities, promotes physical competence, self-regulation, and prosocial behavior. However, research on its effectiveness in primary schools is limited. Therefore, this study aims to examine whether a TPSR-based physical education program increases physical literacy and social responsibility among primary school students.
methodsA pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. A total of 130 students (65 males, 65 females; mean age = 10.9 ± 0.729) participated and were allocated into an experimental (n = 65) or a control (n = 65) group. The experimental group participated in a TPSR-based physical education program, whereas the control group followed the school's usual physical education program. The intervention spanned 12 weeks (2 sessions per week). Pre- and post-intervention measures were conducted using the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL-2) and the Personal and Personal and Social Responsibility Scale for Physical Education (RSRSPE).
resultsA total of 130 students (mean age = 10.9 ± 0.73; 65 in each group) completed the intervention. Significant Group × Time interactions were observed in the domain of physical literacy, including Physical Literacy Total Score (F = 10.298, p = 0.002, ηp² = 0.074), Physical Competence (F = 7.186, p = 0.008, ηp² = 0.053), and Daily Behavior (F = 9.577, p = 0.002, ηp² = 0.070), indicating notable improvements in students' physical literacy. However, no statistically significant changes were found in the Knowledge and Understanding or Motivation and Confidence dimensions (p > 0.05). In terms of social responsibility, the intervention group exhibited significant improvements in Total Score for Social Responsibility (F = 8.706, p = 0.004, ηp² = 0.064), as well as in Caring (F = 6.918, p = 0.010, ηp² = 0.051), Leadership (F = 5.282, p = 0.023, ηp² = 0.040), Self-direction (F = 9.889, p = 0.002, ηp² = 0.072), and Value (F = 11.699, p < 0.001, ηp² = 0.084). No significant changes were observed in Effort, Goal, Responsibility, or Respect (p > 0.05).
conclusionThis study highlights the TPSR model as an effective teaching approach with significant impact and great potential for enhancing primary school students' physical literacy and social responsibility.
