Validation of the Polish adaptation of the Students' Punishment Sensitivity Scale in an educational context.
Review 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
Background: Reinforcement sensitivity theory highlights the crucial role of two systems: the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) and the behavioral activation system (BAS) in explaining one's tendency to respond to positive or adverse stimuli in diverse contexts, including educational. However, there is a lack of measurements that capture the punishment mechanism underlying students' reactions when confronted with others' opinions on their school failures. The research project aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the students' punishment sensitivity (SPS-PL) in the educational context, originally developed for a Turkish sample. Methods: A sample of 548 students aged 12-15 years (53.1% boys) from randomly chosen public schools participated in the study. We used instruments that measure students' punishment sensitivity (SPS-PL Scale) and school burnout (ESSBS). The factor structure (CFA), reliability, and validity analyses were performed. We also tested measurement invariance across gender. Results: CFA indicated acceptable goodness of fit indexes for the three-factor structure of the Students Punishment Sensitivity construct with domains such as: Inhibition due to punishment (IDP), Negative attitudes towards punishment contexts (NATPC), Regulatory Effect of Punishment (REP). The SPS-PL Total Score and IDP demonstrated acceptable reliability ( Conclusion: Studies on students' punishment sensitivity in the context of school failure are scarce. At the same time, these adverse experiences may directly affect young people's educational outcomes and seriously reduce their chances for flourishing development in the future. The research will enable scholars with a valid instrument that allows for a better understanding of this phenomenon.
