Extending the UTAUT model to explore the acceptance and use of generative AI: the roles of generative AI identity and trust.
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
Introduction: Generative AI (GenAI) technology has been rapidly integrated into diverse domains, including education. It has fundamentally reshaped the global learning landscape, exerting a significantly positive influence on students' learning experience. However, the factors influencing adult learners' behavioral intention to use GenAI have not yet been fully understood. Therefore, this study aims to explore key factors influencing the behavioral intention to use GenAI among adult learners from central Taiwan. Based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model, this study integrated two constructs-GenAI identity and trust-to extend the model. Methods: A structured questionnaire survey was performed to collect data from 718 adult learners who were aged 50 or above and from central Taiwan. Partial least squares (PLS) and Partial least squares-Multi-group analyses (PLS-MGA) were employed for data analysis. Results: The following results were obtained: (1) social influence and facilitating conditions are significant antecedent factors influencing adult learners' behavioral intention to use GenAI-conversely, performance expectancy has a negative influence on such intention; (2) GenAI identity and trust are key predictive variables of performance expectancy and effort expectancy; (3) different gender groups exhibit significant differences in most structural paths of the research model. Discussion: These findings provide theoretical support for context-sensitive strategies in adult learning and the educational application of GenAI.
