Subclaims¶

q2 i3 Hardiness correlates most strongly with reduced academic accomplishment (r = −0.631, p < 0.001). → Wang W and Zhang Q 2026 q2 i? AI-assisted autonomous learning is not significantly correlated with emotional exhaustion, though it correlates positively with reduced academic accomplishment (r = 0.164–0.227). → Wang W and Zhang Q 2026 (2)

Evidence¶

Wang W and Zhang Q 2026¶

Wang W and Zhang Q (2026). AI-assisted autonomous learning and reduced academic accomplishment in vocational higher education: the mediating role of hardiness. Front. Psychol. 17:1848291. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1848291

q2 · i3 · associational · r2

Pearson correlation analysis among the 1,264 surveyed students. The strongest association was "between hardiness and reduced academic accomplishment, r = −0.631, p < 0.001", supporting the focus on reduced academic accomplishment as the primary outcome.

"The strongest asso-ciation was observed between hardiness and reduced academic accomplishment, r = −0.631, p < 0.001."

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Correlational analysis of the same survey sample. AI-assisted autonomous learning "was not significantly correlated with emotional exhaustion" but its seven dimensions correlated positively with reduced academic accomplishment (r = 0.164 to 0.227, ps < 0.001).

"AI-assisted autonomous learning was not significantly correlated with emotional exhaustion. However, its seven dimensions were sig-nificantly and positively correlated with behavioral disengagement, reduced academic accomplishment, and total academic burnout."
