Conflicted and healthy behavioural profiles in adolescents: a latent profile analysis of traditional sports attitude, physical activity attitude, and digital game addiction.
Article in BMC 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
purposeThis study aimed to identify latent profiles of adolescents based on their traditional sports attitudes, digital game addiction levels, and physical activity attitudes using a person-centered approach.
methodA total of 634 adolescents (female = 50.5%, n = 320; male = 49.5%, n = 314; mean age = 15.8 years; Grades 9-12) from state high schools in Antalya and Osmaniye provinces were assessed using the Traditional Sports Attitude Scale, the Digital Game Addiction Scale, and the Physical Activity Attitude Scale. Data were analysed via Latent Profile Analysis (LPA); between-profile differences were examined through ANOVA and post-hoc tests.
resultsLPA yielded three meaningful profiles (Entropy = 0.816). The Active-Healthy profile (n = 467, 73.7%) is characterised by high traditional sports attitude, low digital game addiction, and positive physical activity attitude. The Conflicted-Addicted profile (n = 101, 15.9%) exhibits an unexpected internal conflict pattern, carrying the highest digital game addiction in the sample (M = 3.31) despite high traditional sports attitude. The At-Risk profile (n = 66, 10.4%) displays the lowest values across all positive variables. Post-hoc analyses showed that traditional sports attitude failed to differentiate two profiles (|d| = 0.01 to 0.16; p = .314-0.994); whereas negative physical activity attitude was the strongest discriminating variable (η² = 0.621).
conclusionA high traditional sports attitude cannot be considered universally protective against digital addiction risk. Intervention programs should directly target negative physical activity attitudes, beyond the dimension of cultural participation.
