研究大学生用生成式AI的差异,发现性格和背景影响使用习惯与态度。

Understanding University Students' Use of Generative AI: The Roles of Demographics and Personality Traits

  • 基于大五人格和人口统计学调查363名学生,分析其使用生成式AI的动因。
  • 高年级、非英语母语者及亚裔、黑人学生更倾向使用并认可生成式AI价值。
  • 尽责性低、外向性强、情绪稳定者更积极使用,开放性高者反而偏好传统资源。

美国363名本科生与研究生的调查显示,高年级学生更倾向于使用生成式AI(GAI)并偏好其替代传统学习资源。非英语母语者比母语者更早采用GAI。亚裔学生报告更高的使用率、更强的学术收益感知及更强烈偏好;黑人学生也认为GAI对学业有更积极影响。在控制人口变量后,人格特质仍显著预测使用行为:尽责性高的学生使用较少;宜人性高的学生对学术使用持更谨慎态度并担忧伦理问题;情绪稳定性高的学生更认可其学习效果且顾虑少;外向性高的学生更偏好GAI;而开放性/想象力高的学生则更倾向传统资源。研究提示高校需提供个性化指导,以促进生成式AI的高效、合规与公平应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The use of generative AI (GAI) among university students is rapidly increasing, yet empirical research on students' GAI use and the factors influencing it remains limited. To address this gap, we surveyed 363 undergraduate and graduate students in the United States, examining their GAI usage and how it relates to demographic variables and personality traits based on the Big Five model (i.e., extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability, and intellect/imagination). Our findings reveal: (a) Students in higher academic years are more inclined to use GAI and prefer it over traditional resources. (b) Non-native English speakers use and adopt GAI more readily than native speakers. (c) Compared to White, Asian students report higher GAI usage, perceive greater academic benefits, and express a stronger preference for it. Similarly, Black students report a more positive impact of GAI on their academic performance. Personality traits also play a significant role in shaping perceptions and usage of GAI. After controlling demographic factors, we found that personality still significantly predicts GAI use and attitudes: (a) Students with higher conscientiousness use GAI less. (b) Students who are higher in agreeableness perceive a less positive impact of GAI on academic performance and express more ethical concerns about using it for academic work. (c) Students with higher emotional stability report a more positive impact of GAI on learning and fewer concerns about its academic use. (d) Students with higher extraversion show a stronger preference for GAI over traditional resources. (e) Students with higher intellect/imagination tend to prefer traditional resources. These insights highlight the need for universities to provide personalized guidance to ensure students use GAI effectively, ethically, and equitably in their academic pursuits.
