Parental adjustment to AI learning tools during the preschool-to-primary transition: a qualitative study in China.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study explores how parents adjust their use of AI learning tools as children move from preschool to primary school. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), twenty-five semi-structured interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings reveal that parental attitudes shifted from efficiency-oriented evaluations to context-based judgments of educational fit. Social norms were renegotiated as institutional expectations and peer discussions gained influence. Perceived behavioral control declined due to cognitive overload and resource constraints. Together, these changes led parents to reframe AI tools from routine aids to conditional supports within new schooling structures. The study extends TPB by illustrating how families adapt AI technology use as a form of strategic adaptation within shifting educational and social contexts. By clarifying how parental intentions evolve during institutional transition, it offers practical implications for schools, AI developers, and policymakers seeking to support sustainable and context-sensitive integration of AI in home learning.
