Mindfulness and AI adoption: extending the technology acceptance model for Chinese media students.

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
Introduction: Media students' acceptance and use of intelligent technology requires not only external environmental support but also the stimulation of internal driving forces. This study incorporates mindfulness into the classical Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate its role in shaping students' perceptions and behavioral intentions toward artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Specifically, the research examines: (1) the impact of mindfulness on media students' perceptions of AI technology; (2) the influence of mindfulness on their continuous intention to use AI technology; and (3) the moderating effect of perceived risk on the intention to adopt AI tools. Methods: Based on a conceptual model integrating mindfulness with TAM, this study conducted an offline questionnaire survey among 588 media students. The data were analyzed using SmartPLS and SPSS to test the structural equation modeling and moderating effects. Results: The findings revealed three key outcomes. First, mindfulness exerts a significant, direct, and positive influence on personal innovativeness (PI), perceived usefulness (PU), and perceived ease of use (PEU). Second, PI functions as a mediating variable in the relationship between mindfulness and AI-based behavioral intention (AIBI). Third, perceived risk (PR) significantly weakens the relationships between PI, PU, and AIBI. Discussion: This study demonstrates that mindfulness enhances media students' intention to adopt AI tools by strengthening their perceptions of usefulness, ease of use, and personal innovativeness. However, perceived risk undermines these positive effects. By integrating mindfulness into the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this research extends the theoretical understanding of AI technology acceptance and provides practical insights for media education. The findings highlight that embedding mindfulness training and reducing perceived risks can effectively foster rational acceptance and the innovative application of AI tools, thereby contributing to the cultivation of intelligent media talent.
