Evidence¶

q3 · i? · associational · r2

BCH auxiliary analyses comparing Wave 3 career outcomes across the four profiles, adjusting for classification uncertainty; the omnibus test for career crafting was significant.

"The omnibus Wald tests indicated significant profile differences in career crafting, χ2(3) = 52.841, p < 0.001, and self-perceived employability, χ2(3) = 27.734, p < 0.001."

BCH-adjusted pairwise comparisons (Table 6) of career crafting means across profiles; Anxious Acceptance also exceeded Low-Perception Detached.

"For career crafting, High-Perception High-Vigilance (M = 4.22) and Positive Empowerment (M = 3.91) did not differ significantly, but both reported higher levels than Anxious Acceptance (M = 3.69) and Low-Perception Detached (M = 3.41)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Latent profile analysis of six AI-attitude indicators yields four profiles: Positive Empowerment, Anxious Acceptance, Low-Perception Detached, and High-Perception High-Vigilance — related
• The High-Perception High-Vigilance profile combines elevated AI use anxiety and STARA awareness with strong capability perceptions and AI creative self-efficacy — related
• Profiles also differ in self-perceived employability, and elevated AI-related threat is not necessarily incompatible with career preparation — related
• Learning agility, digital literacy, future work self salience, and perceived university digital support prospectively differentiate AI-attitude profile membership, especially separating Low-Perception Detached from engaged profiles — related
• Higher academic self-efficacy profiles report greater overall academic AI use, with a large effect (η² = .36) — related
