The latent profiles of time attitudes and positive emotional adjustment in secondary vocational students.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTime attitude, as an affective dimension of time perspective, is significantly related to adolescents’ adaptive and nonadaptive functioning. This study explored the types of time attitudes among Chinese secondary vocational students and examined the relationship between distinct time attitude profiles and positive emotional adjustment.
methodsA total of 2,232 secondary vocational students (Mage = 16.35, SD = 0.95; 42.0% female) participated in the study. Latent profile analysis was conducted using the Adolescent Time Attitude Scale, with positive emotional adjustment indicators analyzed as distal outcomes.
resultsThe analysis revealed four time attitude profiles: Negatives, Moderate Negatives, Positives, and Moderate Positives. The Positives profile exhibited the highest levels of life satisfaction, self-esteem, and positive affect, whereas the Negatives profile demonstrated the lowest levels of these variables.
conclusionDespite its limitations, this study aligns with prior research, extends the theoretical framework of time attitudes, and provides empirical evidence for understanding psychological adjustment among secondary vocational students.
