The impact of group-based arts activity participation on community residents' psychological well-being: the roles of emotional intelligence and servant organizers.

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
Amid rising global psychological well-being challenges, particularly among urban populations facing social isolation and role changes, community-based interventions have become critically important. Group arts activities provide a culturally accessible means of enhancing psychological well-being, but their underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood theoretically. Guided by social cognitive theory (SCT), this study proposes a triadic framework to examine how personal factors (e.g., emotional intelligence), behavioral factors (e.g., participation in group arts activities), and environmental factors (e.g., servant-oriented organizers) interact to enhance community residents’ psychological well-being. Using a cross-sectional study of 782 participants across 54 community art groups and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), the findings show that participating in group arts activities significantly enhances psychological well-being, with emotional intelligence serving as a mediating factor. Additionally, servant organizers not only directly support participants’ well-being but also influence the relationship between involvement in group arts activities and psychological well-being. These results highlight the complex interplay among individual, behavioral, and environmental factors within community arts programs, extending SCT to these contexts. They offer practical insights for developing effective, theory-driven art initiatives to address the growing psychological well-being needs in urban settings.
