The relationship between dependence on artificial intelligence and creative thinking dispositions among graduate students in sport sciences.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Introduction: The increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in higher education environments has significantly transformed the learning and research processes of graduate students in particular. While AI-supported tools accelerate access to information and facilitate academic processes, various discussions have arisen regarding the potential effects of excessive reliance on these technologies on higher-order cognitive skills, especially creative thinking. In this respect, the aim of this research is to examine the relationship between AI dependency and creative thinking dispositions among graduate students studying in faculties of sports sciences. Methods: In this research, a correlational survey model from quantitative research approaches was used. The population of the study consisted of graduate students studying in the faculties of sports sciences of eight universities located in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Türkiye. Within the scope of the study, data were collected from 286 graduate students using a convenient sampling method. The data were collected using the Dependence to Artificial Intelligence Scale and the Marmara Creative Thinking Dispositions Scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The research findings revealed that participants' dependence on artificial intelligence varied significantly depending on the AI tools they used most frequently. It was found that this difference favored participants who used personal assistants. Additionally, a statistically significant negative correlation was found between AI dependence and dispositions toward creative thinking. Discussion: These results highlight the importance of the balanced and mindful use of AI tools in graduate education programs for the sustainability of creative thinking skills.
