Psychological resilience as a selective perceptual amplifier in post-crisis learning: a dual-pathway model of academic motivation, perceived school support, and cognitive engagement - a multi-country study based on PISA 2022.
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
backgroundThe global educational crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic has posed persistent challenges to students' deep learning. Understanding the mechanisms through which academic motivation (AM) and perceived school support (PSS) translate into cognitive engagement strategies (CES), and identifying factors that amplify this translation, is essential for building resilient educational systems.
methodsData were drawn from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2022, comprising 574,514 students from 80 countries/economies. Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) estimation addressed missing data while retaining the full sample. Confirmatory factor analysis validated the measurement model. Design-corrected regression analyses incorporating PISA's complex sampling weights and 80 replicate weights tested main effects and moderation hypotheses, controlling for ESCS. Mediation was tested using structural equation modeling with bootstrap confidence intervals.
resultsAM significantly predicted CES both directly (β = 0.089, [Formula: see text] .001) and indirectly through enhanced PSS (β = 0.221, [Formula: see text] .001), with perceived support strongly predicting engagement (β = 0.464, [Formula: see text] .001). The indirect effect accounted for 53.6% of the total effect (bootstrap 95% CI [0.102, 0.104]). Psychological resilience (PR) significantly moderated the motivation→support path (β = 0.008, p = 0.007) but not the motivation→engagement or support→engagement paths. OECD membership attenuated both motivation→support and motivation→engagement paths, while gender only moderated the motivation→engagement path.
conclusionsPR functions as a selective "perceptual amplifier" in post-crisis learning, primarily strengthening motivated students' ability to recognize PSS. The robust support→engagement pathway across national and gender groups underscores the universal importance of supportive school environments. Educational interventions could shift toward resilience-sensitive differentiated support.
