Latent profiles of college students' AI literacy and their association with AI acceptance: the sequential indirect role of perceived affordances and growth mindset.

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
Objective: Against the backdrop of the rapid proliferation of generative artificial intelligence (AI), fostering active acceptance and effective utilization of such technologies among college students has emerged as a critical concern in higher education. This study aims to investigate the relationship between AI literacy (AIL) and college students' AI acceptance (AIA), as well as its underlying mechanisms, while employing latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify heterogeneous types of AIL and examine path differences across distinct latent classes. Methods: A sample of 975 Chinese college students completed the AIL Scale, Perceived Affordances (PA) Scale, Growth Mindset (GM) Scale, and AIA Scale. Results: AIL exhibited significant positive correlations with PA ( Conclusion: AIL was positively associated with college students' AIA, and this association was partially accounted for by independent and sequential indirect paths through PA and GM. Moreover, AIL demonstrates a marked heterogeneous structure, with distinct latent classes exhibiting divergent patterns in path analysis. These findings provide empirical evidence for applying affordance theory and implicit theories of intelligence to the context of human AI collaboration, and suggest potential implications for differentiated AI education and mindset interventions in higher education settings.
