Survey finding from the validated Negative Attitude scales for staff and students in the same case study. The article reports the staff mean "significantly greater than the mean for students (4.93 vs. 4.10)" on attitudes towards students' use of GenAI for academic purposes, citing Chan and Hu (2023) that students were generally positive.
"The mean for staff on this scale was significantly greater than the mean for students (4.93 vs. 4.10, as confirmed by a t-test with a p-value < 0.001)."
