The mediating role of self-regulation in the relationship between psychological resilience and computational thinking.

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: Psychological resilience and self-regulation are key psychological constructs that support learners' adaptation to challenges. Resilience provides the motivational foundation for persistence, while self-regulation enables planning, monitoring, and adjustment of strategies. Computational thinking (CT) represents a higher-order cognitive framework that includes creativity, algorithmic thinking, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem solving. This study examines the mediating role of self-regulation in the relationship between psychological resilience and CT among pre-service mathematics teachers. Method: Participants were 336 pre-service mathematics teachers from two state universities in Türkiye. Data were collected using the Psychological Resilience Scale, the Self-Regulation Scale, and the Computational Thinking Skills Scale. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the validity and reliability of the measures. Correlation analyses examined the associations among constructs, and mediation was tested using PROCESS Macro (Model 4) with controls for gender and grade level. Results: Psychological resilience was positively associated with CT skills ( Discussion and conclusion: Findings suggest that psychological resilience is related to CT skills both directly and indirectly through self-regulation. Self-regulation acts as a mechanism that channels resilient tendencies into goal-directed strategies, thereby enhancing CT. These results underscore the value of integrating resilience, self-regulation, and CT into teacher education programs to promote adaptability and 21st-century skills.
