Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: The Impact of Need Satisfaction on Artificial Intelligence Literacy Mediated by Self-Regulated Learning Strategies.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have profoundly influenced both professional environments and personal lives. In the rapidly developing sector of AI education, fostering essential AI literacy among university students has become vital. Nevertheless, the factors that determine AI literacy remain insufficiently defined. This research, grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), seeks to investigate the relationships among three components: the fulfillment of university students' three psychological needs, self-regulated learning strategies (SRLSs), and AI literacy. The aim is to enhance human capital efficiency and prepare students to tackle future workplace challenges effectively. To examine these connections, a cross-sectional survey was administered to 1056 university students. The findings reveal that satisfying the three psychological needs-perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness-plays a pivotal role in advancing AI literacy among university students. Additionally, four SRLSs-cognitive engagement, metacognitive knowledge, resource management, and motivational beliefs-acted as mediators between these psychological needs and AI literacy. Consequently, this study not only enhances our understanding of the psychological and behavioral development of university students during their engagement with AI education but also provides theoretical support and practical guidance for fostering their AI literacy.
