Association between social media use and students’ academic performance through family bonding and collective learning: The moderating role of mental well-being

Artificial intelligence and social media on academic performance and mental well-being: Student perceptions of positive impact in the age of smart learning

“…We argue that for AI to continue to be a force for good, ethical frameworks and human oversight are non-negotiable [ 57 ]. These findings are substantiated by prior research on AI's impact on mental well-being [ 56 , 101 ].…”

“…Given the pervasiveness of technology among today's youth, who frequently leverage AI and social media for academic pursuits, this study adopts a realist research philosophy with a deductive approach to investigate how university students look at the impact of these technological platforms on academic performance and mental well-being [ 100 ]. Notably, deductive reasoning allows us to test hypotheses derived from established theories, frequently using quantitative methods that align well with hypothesis development [ 101 ].…”

Examining the influence of technological self-efficacy, perceived trust, security, and electronic word of mouth on ICT usage in the education sector

“…Similarly, AVE values higher than 0.5 show valid reliability of constructs. Additionally, for the observable variables to sufficiently clarify the latent variables, factor loadings must be higher than 0.7 62 . Factor loadings were employed to establish construct validity and reliability for the model’s satisfactory level of fit, as endorsed by 38 .…”
