Everyday discrimination and life satisfaction: Turkish adaptation of the Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS) and the mediating role of depression.
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
backgroundPerceived discrimination is recognized as a chronic psychosocial stressor associated with adverse mental health outcomes and reduced well-being. However, the psychological mechanisms linking discrimination to life satisfaction remain insufficiently explored in non-Western contexts, and validated measures of everyday discrimination in Türkiye are limited. This study aimed to adapt the Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS) into Turkish and examine whether depressive symptoms are associated with the link between perceived discrimination and life satisfaction.
methodsThe research consisted of two studies. Study 1 examined the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the nine-item EDS using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Study 2 tested a mediation model examining whether depressive symptoms play a mediating role in the relationship between perceived discrimination and life satisfaction among undergraduate students enrolled in a faculty of education. Mediation analyses were conducted using bootstrapping procedures while controlling for demographic variables.
resultsThe Turkish EDS demonstrated a single-factor structure with good reliability and acceptable model fit. Perceived discrimination was positively associated with depressive symptoms and negatively associated with life satisfaction. Mediation analysis indicated a significant indirect effect of perceived discrimination on life satisfaction through depressive symptoms.
