Evidence¶
Du W 2026¶
Du W, Ning S, Shi Y and Chen Y. (2026). The impact of risk perception on perceived benefits of generative artificial intelligence users—an empirical study based on university students. Front. Psychol. 17:1866428. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1866428
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical regression (Model 9) on the 814-student survey. The article reports this difference and notes it "may be associated with variations in academic experience and research expectations across educational levels, rather than indicating a direct causal influence".
"master’s students perceived significantly higher psychological and emotional support benefits than doctoral students (β = −0.438, SE = 0.218, p < 0.05)"
Du W 2026 (2)¶
Du W, Ning S, Shi Y and Chen Y. (2026). The impact of risk perception on perceived benefits of generative artificial intelligence users—an empirical study based on university students. Front. Psychol. 17:1866428. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1866428
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical regression (Models 13–15) on the same sample predicting leisure and entertainment benefits. The article attributes the pattern possibly to "differences in usage contexts or individual preferences rather than a systematic effect of educational level".
"master’s students perceived significantly higher leisure and entertainment benefits than doctoral students (β = −0.544, SE = 0.210, p < 0.05)"
