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.
q3 i1 All nine within-person cross-lagged paths from trust dimensions at Time 1 to fairness dimensions at Time 2 were statistically significant after partitioning out between-person trait variance. → Fu L 2026
q3 i1 Ability trust showed the strongest within-person effects on subsequent fairness (β = 0.11–0.14), followed by integrity and benevolence trust. → Fu L 2026

Fu L 2026¶
Fu L, Ouyang Z and Wu Q (2026). How trust prospectively predicts perceived fairness and learning motivation toward AI teaching assistants: a three-wave within-person longitudinal study. Front. Psychol. 17:1900061. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1900061
q3 · i1 · associational · r2
Three-wave RI-CLPM of N = 450 undergraduates surveyed at Weeks 0, 4, and 8. All nine trust-to-fairness within-person paths survived BH-FDR correction (adjusted q ≤ 0.030); "Ability Trust exhibited the strongest within-person effects (β = 0.11–0.14, all p ≤ 0.005)". Trust dimensions explained 14.2–17.6% of within-person fairness variance at Time 2.
"Supporting H1, all nine within-person cross-lagged paths from trust dimensions at Time 1 to fairness dimensions at Time 2 were statistically significant after controlling for within-person prior fairness levels and partitioning out between-person trait variance. Ability Trust exhibited the strongest within-person effects (β = 0.11–0.14, all p ≤ 0.005)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Within-person reciprocal effects from fairness back to trust are weaker than trust-to-fairness effects, indicating an asymmetric rather than strictly unidirectional pattern — related
- The three trust dimensions (ability, benevolence, integrity) are empirically distinct at the item level in students' responses about AI teaching assistants — related
- Within-person change in perceived fairness mediates the longitudinal association between trust and learning motivation — related
