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 i0 Personal innovativeness showed no significant effect on behavioral intention (β = 0.006, p = 0.432), a negligible printed effect size (f2 = 0.001). → Xin Tian 2026

PLS-SEM structural result (Table 8) from the 842-student Lesotho survey; the hypothesis was coded Not supported, with printed f2 = 0.001. The abstract likewise notes personal innovativeness effects were weak, underscoring contextual sensitivity.
"In contrast, personal innovation did not significantly influence behavioral intention (H7: β = 0.006, t = 0.172, p = 0.432)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence positively predict behavioral intention to use ChatGPT among Lesotho higher education students — related
- Facilitating conditions showed an asymmetric pattern: no significant effect on behavioral intention but a significant positive effect on use behavior — related
- Hedonic motivation and habit were the strongest predictors of behavioral intention, and habit also substantially predicted use behavior — related
- Perceived risk negatively predicts use behavior and operates as a stage-sensitive deterrent, activated at submission and evaluation rather than initial exploration — related
- Effort expectancy is associated with AI use only indirectly through competence, whereas hedonic motivation shows a direct positive association — related
