The relationship between psychological resilience, decision confidence, and officiating pressure of college basketball referees: a cross-lagged study.

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
Objectives: To address the limitations of prior cross-sectional studies, this study employed a longitudinal follow-up design to investigate the reciprocal longitudinal relationships among psychological resilience, decision confidence, and officiating pressure. Methods: Over a 6-month period, 368 college basketball referees were surveyed three times using the Officiating and Decision Stress Scale for Referees (SASS-SO), the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), and the Referee Self-Efficacy Scale (REFS). Longitudinal measurement invariance was assessed using Amos 29.0, and a cross-lagged panel model was employed to examine the relationships among the three variables. Results: The cross-lagged panel model demonstrated an acceptable fit to the data ( Conclusion: Psychological resilience was positively associated with subsequent decision confidence and negatively associated with subsequent officiating pressure over time. Decision confidence was negatively associated with subsequent officiating pressure. Officiating pressure was negatively associated with subsequent psychological resilience and with decision confidence. Decision confidence also mediated the indirect longitudinal relationship between psychological resilience and officiating pressure. These findings should be interpreted as predictive rather than causal, given the limitations of the traditional CLPM.
