Psychological maltreatment, adverse childhood experiences on college students' academic procrastination: exploring the role of adult attachment and resilience.
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
backgroundAcademic procrastination is prevalent in college students, severely impacting their academic achievement, personal growth, and psychological well-being. However, few studies have explored the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on college students’ academic procrastination and the relationship between adult attachment and resilience in this process. The present study aimed to reveal the potential mechanisms of action between ACEs and academic procrastination.
methodsParticipants were recruited from three universities in Northeast China using convenience sampling, and 928 valid questionnaires were collected. The average age of the sample was 19.456 (SD = 1.079), 45.366% were female and 46.983% had experienced at least one ACEs.
resultsACEs are significantly positively correlated with academic procrastination. Furthermore, each of adult attachment and resilience mediates the association between ACEs and academic procrastination. Furthermore, adult attachment and resilience play a chain mediating role in the relationship; adult attachment is negatively associated with resilience.
conclusionThese findings provide new insights into the psychological mechanisms of academic procrastination and suggest ways to design targeted prevention strategies and interventions.
