The Emotion Regulation Flexibility Questionnaire: A Rasch-Validated Version for Children.
Article in Journal of Intelligence, 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
The ability to effectively use different emotion regulation (ER) strategies across situations-i.e., ER flexibility (ERF)-plays a key role in emotional intelligence and social functioning. However, it has rarely been studied in young people, partly due to the lack of age-appropriate measurement instruments. This study investigated children's perceptions of ERF by adapting an adult scale and proposing the 10-item Emotion Regulation Flexibility Questionnaire for Children (ERFQ-C). A sample of 346 children aged 9-12 years was recruited, who completed the ERFQ-C along with questionnaires assessing emotion malleability and school-related well-being. First, the analyses confirmed the scale's unidimensional structure and measurement invariance across sex and school level. Second, the scale showed adequate fit to the Rasch model, and item scores were converted into Rasch scores. Third, path analyses indicated that emotion malleability was positively associated with ERF perception, which, in turn, was positively associated with school-related well-being. Notwithstanding the limitations of self-report data, the instrument can be used in future research to advance theoretical understanding of the intertwinement between perceived ERF and other constructs related to children's functioning (e.g., emotional intelligence) and inform interventions aimed at improving youth well-being.
