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? Adding course development satisfaction and AI proficiency to demographic covariates substantially increases explained variance, peaking for academic adjustment at R2 = 0.240. → Zhang J and Yin Y 2026

Zhang J and Yin Y (2026). A study on AI-enabled course development, AI proficiency, and first-year students' academic and psychological adjustment. Front. Psychol. 17:1909803. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1909803
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical regression in the 551-student survey entered gender, major, and housing (Model 1), then course development satisfaction (Model 2), then AI proficiency (Model 3). The article reports "course development satisfaction had its largest ΔR2 for academic adjustment (ΔR2 = 0.145)" and AI proficiency ΔR2 = 0.060, with final R2 = 0.240 for academic adjustment.
"In terms of incremental variance, course development satisfaction had its largest ΔR2 for academic adjustment (ΔR2 = 0.145); AI proficiency also had its largest ΔR2 for academic adjustment (ΔR2 = 0.060)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- AI proficiency moderates the association between course development satisfaction and academic adjustment, which is stronger among students with higher AI proficiency — related
- AI proficiency is positively associated with self-reported psychological adjustment after controlling for course development satisfaction — related
- AI proficiency partially mediates the association between course development satisfaction and self-reported psychological adjustment (indirect effect = 0.124) — related
- AI usage pressure attenuates the indirect association of course development satisfaction with psychological adjustment through AI proficiency (moderated mediation index = −0.051) — related
- Course development satisfaction is positively associated with first-year students' emotional management, stress coping, and academic adjustment in cross-sectional self-report data — related
