Mapping the Emotional Mind: Development and Psychometric Validation of the SIER-C as a Multifactorial Structure with Two Higher-Order Factors Model of Emotional Intelligence and Resilience in School-Age Children.

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
(1) Background: The present study aimed to develop and validate the Scale for the Identification of Emotional Resilience in Children (SIER-C), a psychometric instrument designed to assess key dimensions of emotional intelligence and resilience among children aged 6 to 12 years. (2) Methods: The sample comprised 367 participants (52.3% male, 47.7% female) drawn from both urban and rural educational settings across Romania, selected through stratified random sampling to ensure demographic representativeness. The SIER-C consists of 30 items distributed across six subscales: Recognition and Understanding of Emotions (RUE), Emotion Regulation (ER), Empathy (E), Attitude Toward Failure (ATF), Coping Strategies (CS), and Perseverance and Self-Motivation (PSM), with items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. An Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was initially conducted to examine the underlying factor structure, followed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to validate the model. (3) Results: The EFA suggested a six-factor structure consistent with the intended subscales, which was subsequently confirmed by CFA, demonstrating satisfactory model fit indices and confirming the scale's construct validity. Internal consistency indices and composite reliability coefficients further indicated robust psychometric properties across subscales. (4) Conclusions: The findings underscore the relevance of SIER-C as a reliable and valid tool for identifying nuanced profiles of emotional intelligence and resilience in children. These profiles provide valuable insights for early detection of emotional and adaptive vulnerabilities and for the design of targeted interventions within educational and clinical frameworks. Future research should explore the longitudinal stability of these constructs and examine the integration of SIER-C within social-emotional learning programs to support the development of emotional competencies from a preventive and developmental perspective.
