Development and reliability and validity testing of the college student ecological emotional intelligence scale.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Purpose: This study aimed to develop the College Student Ecological Emotional Intelligence Scale and evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods: Drawing on the three-dimensional structure theory of emotional intelligence and ecological systems theory, we developed an initial 29-item scale through a literature review and expert interviews. Four independent samples were used: Sample 1 ( Results: (1) The final scale contains 29 items across five dimensions: social-emotional regulation ability, ecological mindfulness, negative emotion insight, affective narrative ability, and interpersonal emotional sensitivity. (2) Confirmatory factor analysis supported the five-factor model, with good fit indices (CFI = 0.938, TLI = 0.932, RMSEA = 0.050, SRMR = 0.042). (3) Criterion-related validity analyses showed that total and dimensional scores were positively associated with psychological resilience and negatively associated with SCL-90 symptom factors. (4) Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis supported measurement invariance across gender. (5) The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.953, and all subscales met accepted reliability standards. Conclusion: The College Student Ecological Emotional Intelligence Scale demonstrated sound reliability and validity and may serve as a useful instrument for assessing ecological emotional intelligence among Chinese university students.
