Moderated mediation of technostress, TPACK, and growth mindset on competency in interdisciplinary teaching among STEM lecturers.

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
As technology becomes deeply integrated into university STEM education, technostress is reshaping interdisciplinary teaching and challenging STEM lecturers' competency in interdisciplinary teaching (CIT). This study surveyed 405 Chinese STEM lecturers and applied partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine a moderated mediation model. The results showed that technostress had a significant negative effect on CIT (β = -0.373, t = 12.347, p < 0.001) and on technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) (β = -0.271, t = 5.180, p < 0.001). TPACK positively predicted CIT (β = 0.290, t = 5.380, p < 0.001) and partially mediated the technostress-CIT link (β = -0.078, t = 3.540, p < 0.001). Growth mindset (GM) significantly moderated both the technostress-CIT relationship (β = 0.152, t = 6.560, p < 0.001) and the technostress-TPACK relationship (β = 0.223, t = 5.288, p < 0.001), with a stronger buffering effect on TPACK, suggesting that GM plays a greater role in preserving knowledge structures than in directly supporting CIT. These findings validate a novel moderated mediation framework integrating technostress, TPACK, and GM to explain CIT. The results also offer practical implications for designing targeted faculty development interventions in digital learning environments.
