q2 i1 The direct effect of GenAI literacy on SRLB remained significant after accounting for learning agency and challenge emotions (β = 0.148), indicating partial mediation. → 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 · i1 · associational · r2

In the same bootstrap mediation model, the direct path from GenAI literacy to SRLB retained significance (β = 0.148, 95% CI [0.062, 0.376]); the article reports this as "indicating partial mediation". The total effect was B = 0.701, β = 0.471.
