Subclaims¶

q3 i? PAD is indirectly associated with use frequency through perceived risk (95% CI [−0.05, −0.01]). → Ortiz-Bonnin 2025 q3 i? PAD is indirectly associated with intention to use through perceived risk (95% CI [−0.11, −0.02]). → Ortiz-Bonnin 2025 (2)

Evidence¶

Ortiz-Bonnin 2025¶

Ortiz-Bonnin, S., & Blahopoulou, J. (2025). Chat or cheat? Academic dishonesty, risk perceptions, and ChatGPT usage in higher education students. Social Psychology of Education. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11218-025-10080-2

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Bootstrapped mediation analysis (10,000 samples, bias-corrected CIs) in Jamovi on the 468-student sample. The article reports the indirect effect on use frequency with "95% CI [-0.05, − 0.01]", excluding zero; classified as indirect-only mediation per Meule (2019).

"Third, PAD was indirectly associated with both use frequency (95% CI [-0.05, − 0.01]) and intention to use (95% CI [-0.11, − 0.02]) through perceived risk."

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Same bootstrapped mediation model; the indirect effect on intention to use had "95% CI [-0.11, − 0.02]", excluding zero, supporting H3b. Direct and total effects were not significant.

"Third, PAD was indirectly associated with both use frequency (95% CI [-0.05, − 0.01]) and intention to use (95% CI [-0.11, − 0.02]) through perceived risk."

• Perceived academic dishonesty is not directly related to ChatGPT use frequency or intention to use — related
• Students with higher perceived academic dishonesty perceive greater risk in using ChatGPT — related
• Perceived risk of using ChatGPT is negatively associated with both use frequency and intention to use among undergraduates — related
• Information risk perception is negatively associated with psychological and emotional support, daily life, and leisure and entertainment benefits — related
