The mediating role of emotion regulation and cognitive flexibility in the relationship between cooperative learning and social skills of students: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundThis study examines the innovative roles of emotion regulation (ER) and cognitive flexibility (CF) as mediators in the association between cooperative learning (CL) and social skills among university students. Although prior research has investigated CL or social skills in isolation, limited studies have analyzed the concurrent mediation of this connection by ER and CF.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was executed with 502 university students in Shandong, China, chosen by stratified random sampling. Participants administered the Social Skills Inventory, Cooperative Learning Application Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and Cognitive Flexibility Inventory. Data were examined utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to investigate direct and indirect effects.
resultsCooperative learning markedly improved students' social competencies. Both emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility partially mediated this association, with cognitive load cooperative learning enhancing emotional sensitivity and emotion regulation, while cognitive flexibility affected social sensitivity and expressiveness.
conclusionsThe integration of emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility in educational curricula promotes the efficacy of cooperative learning, fostering emotional and social abilities. These findings offer practical insights for educators and policymakers to create organized interventions that promote whole student development.
