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 The serial indirect path GenAI literacy → learning agency → challenge emotions → SRLB was statistically significant (β = 0.050). → 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 · i0 · associational · r2

Bootstrap serial mediation analysis (5,000 resamples); the serial indirect pathway through learning agency then challenge emotions had β = 0.050 with a 95% bootstrap CI of [0.030, 0.122], reported as "statistically significant".

"In addition, the serial indirect association through learning agency and challenge emotions were statistically significant(B=0.075,SE =0.023,95%bootstrapCI[0.030,0.122], β = 0.050)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Affect Regulation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Challenge emotions mediate the association between GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors, with a relatively small indirect effect — related
GenAI literacy, learning agency, challenge emotions, and SRLB are empirically distinguishable constructs, though the four-factor model's absolute fit was less than optimal — related
GenAI literacy is positively associated with GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors among special education undergraduates — a broader claim this one bears on
Learning agency mediates the association between GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors — related
The direct association between GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors remains significant after accounting for the mediators, indicating partial mediation — related
AI literacy relates to AI integration intention through a serial indirect pathway via AI-TPACK and science teaching self-efficacy — related
Self-efficacy and learning motivation serially mediate the link from AIGC affordance to self-regulated learning — related
Trust in AI and academic self-efficacy serially mediate the literacy-to-continued-use association (literacy → trust → self-efficacy → use) — related
The serial indirect effect of AI literacy on continued use is weaker at higher levels of AI anxiety (moderated mediation) — related
Recurring mechanism clusters — self-regulation, metacognition, critical thinking, self-efficacy, trust, feedback literacy, AI literacy — link GenAI use to agency outcomes — related
GenAI can support learner agency through self-regulated learning, self-efficacy, and feedback literacy under appropriate conditions — a broader claim this one bears on
