Two new journal articles based on research conducted within the Self & Technology project have recently been published in international peer-reviewed journals.
The first article, “Mapping AI learning readiness self-efficacy worldwide: Scale validation and cross-continental patterns”, published in Computers in Human Behavior: Artificial Humans, introduces and validates a new measure of AI Learning Readiness Self-efficacy (AILRSE-5) using large-scale international survey data.
The second article, “User trust in AI and major tech companies in twelve countries”, published in Behaviour & Information Technology, investigates levels of trust in artificial intelligence and leading technology companies across twelve countries. The findings highlight notable cross-national differences and contribute to understanding of how trust in AI and technological actors is shaped by social and cultural contexts.
Together, these publications demonstrate the strong international scope of the Self & Technology project and its contribution to research on psychological, social, and societal aspects of emerging technologies.
