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 i2 The indirect effect of GenAI literacy on SRLB through learning agency was statistically significant (β = 0.232). → Yang J 2026

Evidence¶

Yang J 2026¶

Yang J, Liu X, Zhao W and Wang T (2026). GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors: the roles of learning agency and challenge emotions. Front. Psychol. 17:1902668. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1902668

q2 · i2 · associational · r2

Bootstrap serial mediation analysis (5,000 resamples) with gender and year of study as covariates; the indirect path through learning agency had β = 0.232 with a 95% bootstrap CI excluding zero. The article reports it as "statistically significant".

"The indirect association of GenAI literacy with SRLB through learning agency was statistically significant (B = 0.345, SE = 0.058, 95% bootstrap CI [0.234, 0.461], β = 0.232)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Self-Regulation — outcome: instruction changes it

Challenge emotions mediate the association between GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors, with a relatively small indirect effect — related
GenAI literacy, learning agency, challenge emotions, and SRLB are empirically distinguishable constructs, though the four-factor model's absolute fit was less than optimal — related
GenAI literacy is positively associated with GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors among special education undergraduates — a broader claim this one bears on
Learning agency and challenge emotions serially mediate the association between GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors — related
The direct association between GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors remains significant after accounting for the mediators, indicating partial mediation — related
Metacognitive self-regulation mediates the relationships between all three AI interaction mechanisms and both higher-order outcomes — related
Homework management skills partially mediate the relationship between teacher homework involvement and homework behavior — related
