Social value orientation and college students' aggressive behaviors: the chain mediating effect of perspective taking and general trust.
Article in Frontiers in 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
To explore the chain mediating effect of perspective taking and general trust between social value orientation and college students' aggressive behavior, and to provide scientific evidence for promoting college students' mental health and reducing campus violence. The current study adopts a combination of cluster sampling and convenience sampling methods, selecting 1,994 students from 6 universities in Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Henan, Tianjin, and Xizang provinces. The measurements include the Social Value Orientation Slider Measure (SVO-SM), the Perspective Taking sub-scale of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI-PT), the General Trust Scale (GTS), and the Short-Form Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ-SF). The results show that the scores of social value orientation, perspective taking, and general trust are all positively correlated with each other, and all three are negatively correlated with aggressive behavior. The mediation effect analysis indicates that social value orientation can predict aggressive behavior through perspective taking, general trust, and the mediating chain of the two, with the mediation effects of the three paths being 9.017%, 4.378%, and 0.947% respectively. This suggests that perspective taking and general trust of college students have multiple mediating effects between social value orientation and aggressive behavior. The present associations provide preliminary implications for college education practices centered on prosocial skill development, which tend to correspond to a lower prevalence of campus bullying and aggressive conduct.
