Predictive effects of foreign language listening emotions on listening achievement.
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: While anxiety has been extensively studied, other emotions have remained largely unexamined in foreign language listening research, and their effects on listening achievement remain uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the predictive effects of anxiety, boredom, and enjoyment on listening achievement, while developing and validating foreign language listening boredom and enjoyment scales. Methods: Two sub-studies were conducted with three separate samples of Chinese English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) university students ( Results: Regression analysis indicates that boredom consistently and negatively predicted listening achievement, whereas enjoyment appeared to have a positive effect; anxiety showed varying and context-dependent predictive influence. Discussion: The findings highlight the robust and distinct roles of multiple listening emotions in EFL listening success, supporting the need for emotion-sensitive listening pedagogy that fosters positive engagement and mitigates disengagement.
