Psychological determinants of spring festival homecoming: attitude ambivalence moderates the effect of subjective norms.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Introduction: Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study examines how subjective norms influence Spring Festival homecoming intention and subsequent homecoming behavior. TPB posits that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control are central determinants of intention and behavior, and suggests that the relative weight of these determinants may vary across decision conditions. Building on this framework, we consider attitudinal ambivalence as a key moderator of the normative pathway. Methods: Using two-wave survey data from 884 Chinese participants, we tested a moderated mediation model using structural equation modeling. Results: The results indicate that stay-local subjective norms negatively predict homecoming intention and actual behavior. Moreover, this indirect effect becomes stronger under conditions of high attitudinal ambivalence. Discussion: This study shows that attitudinal ambivalence shifts the relative influence of subjective norms in predicting intention and subsequent behavior, clarifying how normative pathways operate when evaluative guidance is conflicted.
