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? In the Klein-Avraham et al. validation sample, epistemic and society-related knowledge were negatively associated with trust in GenAI, suggesting more informed users did not simply become more trusting. → Daniele Verí 2026
