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? Higher self-reported AI proficiency is statistically associated with better emotional management, stress coping, and academic adjustment. → 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
In the same 551-student cross-sectional survey, multiple regressions showed standardized β = 0.25 (emotional management), β = 0.22 (stress coping), and β = 0.27 (academic adjustment), all p < 0.001; the mediation model reported that "after controlling for course development satisfaction, AI proficiency was positively associated with self-reported psychological adjustment (path b = 0.27, p < 0.001)."
"after controlling for course development satisfaction, AI proficiency was positively associated with self-reported psychological adjustment (path b = 0.27, p < 0.001)"
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 proficiency partially mediates the association between course development satisfaction and self-reported psychological adjustment (indirect effect = 0.124) — 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
- AI usage pressure attenuates the indirect association of course development satisfaction with psychological adjustment through AI proficiency (moderated mediation index = −0.051) — related
- Course development satisfaction and AI proficiency add incremental explained variance beyond demographics, with the largest contribution to academic adjustment (R2 = 0.240) — related
