• Exploring Chinese EFL teachers’ adoption of generative AI: the roles of social influence and AI-PACK (2026) · Journal of China Computer-Assisted Language Learning · doi

  As this study relied on cross-sectional quantitative data, it cannot fully capture the dynamic evolution of teachers' intentions over time. Subsequent research should employ longitudinal designs or mixed-method approaches, triangulating quantitative data with qualitative interviews to provide deeper insights into the causal mechanisms of AI adoption.

• The effects of responsiveness, perceived warmth, and anthropomorphism on university students' use of conversational AI for learning support: a chain mediation analysis based on S-O-R framework (2026) · Frontiers in Psychology · doi

  The study employed only cross-sectional SEM design without qualitative data collection methods such as in-depth interviews, observational data, or focus group discussions. Future research should integrate mixed-method designs combining survey data with qualitative approaches to comprehensively uncover the psychological dynamics and cognitive processes underlying conversational AI usage for learning support.
