Subclaims¶

q2 i3 PNT showed an incremental association with LOU beyond perceived GenAI guidance clarity (β = 0.478, p < 0.001), with explained variance in LOU rising from 32.2 to 36.9%. → Yang Z 2026 q2 i? The focal association remained positive and significant in leave-one-institution-out analyses (coefficients 0.576, 0.550, 0.581). → Yang Z 2026 (2)

Evidence¶

Yang Z 2026¶

Yang Z, Yang Y and Liu W (2026) Self-reported learning-oriented GenAI use under perceived teacher-referenced normative tension in Chinese higher education. Front. Psychol. 17:1969743. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1969743

q2 · i3 · associational · r2

Six-factor robustness model adding GenAI guidance clarity (GGC), fitting well (χ2(396) = 625.61, CFI = 0.982). The article reports 'PNT remained positively associated with LOU, β = 0.478', attenuated from 0.568, and explained variance in LOU increased from 32.2 to 36.9%.

"PNT remained positively associated with LOU, β = 0.478, p < 0.001, while GGC was independently associated with LOU, β = 0.243, p < 0.001, and ACS, β = 0.196, p < 0.001."

Yang Z 2026 (2)¶

Yang Z, Yang Y and Liu W (2026) Self-reported learning-oriented GenAI use under perceived teacher-referenced normative tension in Chinese higher education. Front. Psychol. 17:1969743. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1969743

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Leave-one-institution-out sensitivity analyses on the student sample. The article reports the standardised coefficient 'was 0.576 after excluding Institution A, 0.550 after excluding Institution B, and 0.581 after excluding Institution C', indicating the association was not attributable exclusively to one institution.

"The standardised PNT–LOU coefficient was 0.576 after excluding Institution A, 0.550 after excluding Institution B, and 0.581 after excluding Institution C."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The five-factor measurement representation (PNT, LOU, ACS, SRL, CT) showed unusually close fit, replicated in a held-out subsample, and the constructs did not collapse into one general tendency — related
• Perceived teacher-referenced GenAI normative tension is positively associated with self-reported learning-oriented GenAI use among Chinese university students — related
• Temporal direction between PNT and LOU could not be identified: the reversed specification was observationally equivalent — related
• Intention to use consolidated LLM reports is associated with motivation and personalisation — related
• The six-path specification was structurally incomplete: exploratory direct paths from PNT to ACS, SRL, and CT improved fit beyond the hypothesised model — related
