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.
q2 i? Configural, metric, and scalar invariance of the retained measurement model held across gender, first-generation status, and STEM versus non-STEM major groupings. → Hossain 2026
Evidence¶
Hossain 2026¶
Hossain, S., & Nawmi, T. A. (2026). Measuring How Students Rely on Generative AI in Academic Writing: Development and Multi-Source Validation of the Generative AI Reliance Types Scale (GenAI-RTS). https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.14301 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2607.14301
q2 · i? · design · r2
Multigroup confirmatory models tested configural, metric, and scalar invariance across three groupings in the validation sample, with all groups at least 125 after listwise deletion. The article states "scalar measurement invariance held across gender, first-generation status, and STEM/non-STEM majors" and calls it the first such evidence for a GenAI reliance instrument.
"scalar measurement invariance held across gender, first-generation status, and STEM/non-STEM majors; to our knowledge, the first such evidence for an instrument measuring GenAI reliance"
