Exploring the role of generative AI in international students' sociocultural adaptation: a cognitive-affective model.

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
Against the backdrop of increasing global educational exchanges, the sociocultural adaptation of international students has attracted significant attention. The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence has brought new perspectives to research in this field, yet existing studies have insufficiently explored the mechanisms through which GenAI influences the sociocultural adaptation of international students. Drawing on the cognitive-affective personality system theory and conservation of resources theory, this study employed a three-stage time-lagged questionnaire survey to collect 329 valid responses from international students at three universities in North, South, and East China. The research aims to investigate how GenAI use impacts students' sociocultural adaptation, while examining the mediating roles of positive reappraisal and perceived empathy, as well as the moderating effect of AI anthropomorphism. The findings reveal that GenAI use is significantly positively associated with international students' sociocultural adaptation. Positive reappraisal and users' subjective perceived empathy mediate the relationship between GenAI use and sociocultural adaptation. Additionally, the degree of AI anthropomorphism positively moderates the relationships between GenAI use and both positive reappraisal and perceived empathy, enhancing the indirect effects of these mediating variables on the relationship between GenAI use and sociocultural adaptation. This study enriches the technological premises of cross-cultural adaptation for international students and provides GenAI-based intervention strategies for their educational management.
