Unveiling adolescents' climate agency modes and their personal, behavioral, and environmental determinants: a qualitative study.
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
Climate change severely affects the planet and individuals' health and well-being. To take urgent action to mitigate this phenomenon, literature has advocated that adolescents can be active agents and protagonists of change, but how are they responding to these challenges? Grounded in Bandura's theory of agency and the triadic reciprocal causation model, this study explored adolescents' agency modes toward climate change and perceived personal, behavioral, and environmental determinants. Participants were 51 adolescents enrolled in middle and high schools. Data collected through semi-structured interviews with photo-elicitation and a focus group discussion were analyzed using content analysis. Findings revealed that adolescents at both school levels mainly report engaging in individual and collective actions to address climate change that do not simultaneously reflect the properties of human agency. Personal (e.g., superficial knowledge, low expected outcomes), behavioral (e.g., lack of control), and environmental (e.g., lack of community resources) determinants may help explain the current findings. Salient differences in data patterns among middle and high school students were reported and discussed. This study provides implications for future research and prompts reflection on educational practice.
