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? Grade differences in AI anxiety were significant but small (F = 3.008, p = 0.018, η2 = 0.027); gender, place of origin, and AI usage habits showed no significant differences. → Wang X 2026
Evidence¶
Wang X 2026¶
Wang X (2026) The impact of career adapt-abilities on AI anxiety among English majors: a dual perspective analysis based on core self-evaluations at the person- and variable-centered. Front. Psychol. 17:1767791. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1767791
q3 · i? · associational · r2
t-tests and one-way ANOVAs across demographic variables. Sophomores (M = 3.038) had significantly lower AI anxiety than freshmen (M = 3.331) and seniors (M = 3.334); gender (p = 0.533), origin (p = 0.566), and AI usage habits (p = 0.708) were non-significant.
"Grade-level differences were significant ( F = 3.008, p = 0.018, η2 = 0.027)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Main structural paths remain substantively unchanged after controlling for gender, major, and AI tool use frequency — related
- Gender is associated with small differences in GenAI use, literacy, and monitoring, while educational level shows no significant differences — related
- Focal paths are robust to background controls, which did not directly predict AI integration intention — related
- Age, gender, class level and voluntary programme choice do not significantly predict job search anxiety in the adjusted model — related
