Psychometric refinement of the study-related perfectionism scale in Chinese adolescents: fairness and longitudinal evidence for a four-item concerns-focused adaptation (SPS-4-CV).

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
Background: Academic perfectionistic concerns are distinct from perfectionistic strivings, yet existing brief study-related measures often conflate these facets and lack rigorous evaluation of measurement fairness. Using the Study-related Perfectionism Scale (SPS) as a starting point, we psychometrically refined and evaluated a concerns-focused four-item Chinese version (SPS-4-CV) among Chinese adolescents. Methods: A total of 1,126 junior middle school students were recruited using a three-independent-sample design. Sample 1 ( Results: In Sample 3, ordinal CFA supported a robust unidimensional structure with excellent fit [χ Conclusion: The concerns-focused four-item Chinese version of the SPS (SPS-4-CV) is a psychometrically sound measure supported by rigorous evidence of internal structure, fairness (DIF), and longitudinal stability. It is suitable for research and group comparisons in educational settings and may serve as a brief indicator of potential academic perfectionistic concerns. While useful for screening, it is not intended for clinical diagnosis without further external validation.
