q3 i? In multinomial logistic regression, each unit increase in AI literacy was associated with approximately a tenfold reduction in the odds of Dependent versus Strategic classification (OR = 0.11, p < .001). → Shahin Hossain 2026

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Known-groups validity analysis via multinomial logistic regression in the main survey study (N=382). The article prints an odds ratio of OR = 0.11 with p < .001 for Dependent versus Strategic classification per unit of AI literacy; no standardized effect size is printed, so no magnitude code is assigned.

"each unit increase in AI literacy was associated with approximately a tenfold reduction in the odds of Dependent versus Strategic classification (𝑂𝑅= 0.11, 𝑝<. 001), confirming that high-AI-literacy students disproportionately exhibit Strategic reliance."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• GenAI literacy dimensions predict critical monitoring beyond traits, use frequency, and perceptions, with critical-ethical awareness the strongest predictor — related
• Critical-ethical awareness plays a dual role: it negatively predicts general GenAI reliance but positively predicts shortcut reliance — related
• Undergraduate LLM reliance classifies into four types — Strategic (34.3%), Instrumental (30.9%), Dialogic (30.4%), and Dependent (4.5%) — using a threshold-based classification rule — related
• Expectancy-Value beliefs govern the intensity of LLM reliance while AI skills determine its type, indicating the two predictor systems require separate interventions — a broader claim this one bears on
• Reliance type membership significantly predicts all ten writing-process and outcome variables, supporting criterion validity of the typology — related
• AI literacy shows a small positive association with ethical scenario classification accuracy — related
• Each additional correct GLAT response is associated with a 13.9% increase in modeled odds of correctly classifying a scenario — related
• Skill-based AI literacy (using/understanding and detecting AI) is positively associated with reported AI dependency among higher education students — reports the opposite
• Strategic reliance is positively associated with AI literacy, and the reliance types differentiate students across writing process and outcome variables — related
