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.
q2 i3 Higher AI dependency is associated with higher learning burnout (β = 0.451, p < 0.001), controlling for self-efficacy and teacher support. → Huang Q 2026

q2 · i3 · associational · r2
Regression Model 3 in the cross-sectional survey, controlling for academic self-efficacy and teacher support. AI dependency was "significantly and positively associated with learning burnout" with β = 0.451, R2 = 0.203, f 2 = 0.255.
"AI dependency was significantly and positively associated with learning burnout ( β = 0.451, p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.392, 0.634]), explaining 20.3% of the variance in learning burnout ( R2 = 0.203, f 2 = 0.255)."
