Validation of the Chinese version of the adaptive functions of music listening scale among Chinese university students.
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
Background: A multidimensional measure of music-listening functions is needed in the Chinese context. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Adaptive Functions of Music Listening Scale (AFML) among Chinese university students. Methods: A total of 2,829 university students were recruited from Weifang Institute of Technology in Shandong, China. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), measurement invariance testing, reliability analysis, and criterion validity analysis were conducted. Results: CFAs supported the original 11-factor structure of the AFML. Multi-group confirmatory factor analyses indicated that this structure was invariant across gender and musical training experience. The subscales demonstrated good to excellent internal consistency. Regression analyses further showed that several adaptive AFML dimensions were associated with better well-being, whereas rumination showed a consistent maladaptive pattern across affective and social indicators. In addition, identity was associated with higher positive affect and life satisfaction, but also with higher negative affect. Conclusion: The Chinese version of the AFML demonstrated good reliability and validity, supporting its use for assessing the adaptive functions of music listening among Chinese university students.
