Subclaims¶

q2 i? When confidence was included in the model, the direct effect of institutional support on attitudes became non-significant (V = 0.03, p = .385), indicating full mediation; the indirect effect was significant (a× b = 0.4961, Sobel z = 12.63, p < .001). → mediation

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Follow-up mediation analysis using the Baron and Kenny method and Sobel test on the same survey data: support predicted confidence (V = 0.58, p < .001), confidence predicted attitudes (V = 0.85, p < .001), and the direct support-attitude effect became non-significant (V = 0.03, p = .385), indicating full mediation.

"The indirect effect of institutional support on attitudes through confidence was statistically significant (a× b = 0.4961), as confirmed by a Sobel test (z = 12.63, p < .001)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Teachers' expectancy beliefs about successfully using AI applications shape their motivation to use them (theoretical argument). — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• Teacher confidence strongly predicts favorable attitudes toward AI adoption, while the direct effect of support on attitudes is not significant — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Teacher concerns do not significantly moderate the support-confidence relationship nor directly predict confidence or attitudes — related
• Institutional support significantly and positively predicts teacher confidence in adopting AI among Philippine teachers — related
