Validation of the Bahasa Malaysia Version of the General Attitudes Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale Among Academicians.

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
Background: The growing incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) within academic settings has prompted increased scholarly attention to understanding how academicians perceive its impact. Although the General Attitudes Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS) is a widely recognised instrument for evaluating perceptions of AI, a formally validated version in Bahasa Malaysia has not yet been developed. This study, therefore, sought to adapt and validate the GAAIS in Bahasa Malaysia to assess attitudes toward AI among Malaysian academicians accurately. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among academicians at the Universiti Sains Malaysia Health Campus in Malaysia. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to evaluate the factor structure of the translated scale. Composite reliability (CR) was utilised to assess reliability, whereas convergent validity was determined by calculating the average variance extracted (AVE). Results: The final CFA model confirmed a two-factor structure, retaining 14 out of 20 original items. Factor 1 (Optimism and Benefits) comprised eight items, while Factor 2 (Risks and Ethical Concerns) consisted of six items. The model demonstrated strong fit indices ( Conclusion: The translated Bahasa Malaysia version of GAAIS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing AI attitudes in general among Malaysian academicians. Its relevance spans multiple academic fields and professional industries, contributing valuable support to ongoing research involving multilingual and multicultural populations.
