q3 · i? · associational · r?
Questionnaire study of students (n = 226) and instructors (n = 256) in European higher education using parallel five-point scales; independent-samples t-tests showed "students rated their ethical awareness higher than instructors" while instructors reported higher intention. No effect sizes are printed, so impact is null.
"Independent-samples t-tests revealed significant group differences: students rated their ethical awareness higher than instructors, while instructors reported stronger willingness to experiment with AI tools and reported higher behavioural intention"
