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 i? AI proficiency partially mediates the positive association between course development satisfaction and self-reported psychological adjustment, with 30.0% of the total effect mediated. → Zhang J and Yin Y 2026
Evidence¶
Zhang J and Yin Y 2026¶
Zhang J and Yin Y (2026). A study on AI-enabled course development, AI proficiency, and first-year students' academic and psychological adjustment. Front. Psychol. 17:1909803. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1909803
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Bootstrap mediation (PROCESS Model 4, 5,000 resamples) in the 551-student cross-sectional survey: path a = 0.46, path b = 0.27, direct effect c′ = 0.29 (all p < 0.001). The article reports "The indirect effect was 0.124 (Boot SE = 0.026, 95% CI [0.076, 0.181]), which does not include zero" and a mediated proportion of 30.0%.
"The indirect effect was 0.124 (Boot SE = 0.026, 95% CI [0.076, 0.181]), which does not include zero, supporting H4: AI proficiency partially mediated the association between course development satisfaction and self-reported psychological adjustment"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- AI proficiency moderates the association between course development satisfaction and academic adjustment, which is stronger among students with higher AI proficiency — related
- AI usage pressure attenuates the indirect association of course development satisfaction with psychological adjustment through AI proficiency (moderated mediation index = −0.051) — related
- AI proficiency is positively associated with self-reported psychological adjustment after controlling for course development satisfaction — related
- Course development satisfaction is positively associated with first-year students' emotional management, stress coping, and academic adjustment in cross-sectional self-report data — related
- Course development satisfaction and AI proficiency add incremental explained variance beyond demographics, with the largest contribution to academic adjustment (R2 = 0.240) — related
