q2 i? All five students who identified the feedback as AI-generated reported no attitude change; unaware students split across would-not-change, conditional/unsure, and would-change responses. → Yilmaz 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Thematic analysis of open-ended responses from 17 treatment-group students (κ = .830), yielding four themes: Awareness-Stable Perception, Unaware-but Content-Focused, Unaware-but Open to Change, and Unaware-Would Reconsider if Aware.

"Among students who were aware of the feedback source, all (n = 5) stated that their attitude toward the feedback did not change, even though they knew it was GenAI-generated"
