Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? Artificial intelligence connectedness is claimed to uniquely predict disclosure depth, offline social withdrawal, and mental health changes after controlling for usage frequency, social presence, and anthropomorphism. → Fu Jinbin & Zhao Fang 2026
Evidence¶
Fu Jinbin & Zhao Fang 2026¶

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
Theoretical assertion, not an empirical test: the article states the construct still uniquely predicts emotional self-disclosure and relational identification beyond usage frequency, predicts offline social withdrawal beyond anthropomorphism and social presence, covers all engagement levels unlike AI attachment, and enables testing moderators that switch stimulation to displacement effects. No data are reported.
"artificial intelligence connectedness demonstrates clear incremental validity across four domains"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- AI connectedness is psychologically real but ethically asymmetric, carrying conditional rather than inherent risks — related
- High-frequency LLM users show higher minimum course outcomes and reduced score variability, though interaction level is not a dominant outcome predictor — related
- Peer rejection incrementally predicts subsequent behavioral, emotional, and academic maladjustment in children with ADHD beyond ADHD status itself — related
