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 Study 1 (n = 486), exploratory factor analysis of the 18 retained items supported a five-factor solution corresponding to the hypothesized dimensions, explaining 67.82% of the total variance. → Nie J 2026

q3 · i? · design · r3
Study 1 exploratory factor analysis with 486 students using principal axis factoring with oblimin rotation. Sampling adequacy was high: "The KMO value was .931", and Bartlett's test was significant, χ2(153) = 4,862.17, p < .001. Factor loadings ranged from .63 to .84.
"Exploratory factor analysis supported a five-factor solution corresponding to the hypothesized dimensions. The final 18 items explained 67.82% of the total variance."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- GAA-LS scores correlate positively with feedback engagement, academic integrity intention, and responsible AI use intention, and differ across known groups — related
- Confirmatory factor analysis in an independent sample supports the five-factor correlated model over collapsed and one-factor alternatives — related
- The GAA-LS shows satisfactory-to-strong internal consistency and evidence of convergent and discriminant validity — related
- Exploratory factor analysis indicates a four-factor solution best fits the survey response data — related
- Feedback engagement indirectly associates GAA-LS scores with academic integrity intention in a cross-sectional structural model — related
- The GenAI-SRL scale shows satisfactory reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity across its six dimensions — related
- Exploratory factor analysis in the pilot stage supported a four-factor solution, with three items removed (a weak loading, a cross-loading, and a low item–total correlation with duplicated content) — related
- The five-dimension structure and scale were validated with 308 graduate students, showing acceptable reliability and validity — related
