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.
q3 i? APL significantly positively predicts Perceived Competence (β = 0.636, p < 0.001). → Li 2026
q3 i? APL significantly positively predicts Intrinsic Motivation (β = 0.439, p < 0.001) and Psychological Safety (β = 0.657, p < 0.001). → Li 2026
Evidence¶
Li 2026¶
Li, H. and Zhang, W. (2026). Empowerment over enforcement: unpacking the psychological drivers of AI-assisted deep revision in EFL writing. Front. Psychol. 17:1871022. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1871022
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Structural model assessment in a cross-sectional survey of 327 Chinese university EFL learners analyzed with PLS-SEM; the APL→PC path was significant (β = 0.636, t = 24.387, p < 0.001), with APL also showing "substantial positive associations with Intrinsic Motivation (IM)" (β = 0.439) and Psychological Safety (β = 0.657).
"AI Prompting Literacy (APL) and Perceived Competence (PC) were found to be significantly positively correlated, supporting hypothesis H1 (β = 0.636, t = 24.387, p < 0.001)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Motivation — outcome: instruction changes it
- Self-Efficacy — outcome: instruction changes it
- Safety — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- AI Prompting Literacy is indirectly and significantly associated with Deep Revision Engagement through Perceived Competence, Intrinsic Motivation, and Psychological Safety — a broader claim this one bears on
- Perceived Competence, Intrinsic Motivation, and Psychological Safety each significantly positively predict Deep Revision Engagement — related
- AI literacy directly and positively predicts learning engagement among university students — related
