The association between teachers' cognitive and psychological capacities, their well-being, and implications for professional effectiveness: a systematic review.
Synthesis 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
This systematic review examines the association between teachers’ cognitive and psychological capacities and their well-being, as well as the implications for their professional effectiveness. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology, relevant articles were identified across four databases in Arabic and English, yielding a final sample of 55 studies comprising K-12 teachers. The review revealed that the most frequently utilized theoretical frameworks were Social Cognitive Theory (n = 13), Self-Determination Theory (n = 9), and Job Demands-Resources Theory (n = 8). Teachers’ cognitive and psychological capacities were identified as influencing various dimensions of well-being, including overall well-being (n = 14), psychological well-being (n = 8), occupational well-being (n = 4), job satisfaction (n = 9), and quality of work-life (n = 6). Moreover, teachers supported by cognitive and psychological capacities were positively associated with various indicators of professional effectiveness, such as work engagement, work ability, motivation to teach, innovative teaching practices, and creative agency. These findings highlight the importance of nurturing teachers’ cognitive and psychological resources to improve their well-being and professional performance, which in turn contributes to improved student achievements and overall educational outcomes. The results provide valuable insights for educational policymakers and those involved in teacher professional development initiatives.
