Exploring How AI Literacy and Self-Regulated Learning Relate to Student Writing Performance and Well-Being in Generative AI-Supported Higher Education
Open accessAbstract
The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) into higher education is transforming students’ learning processes, academic performance, and psychological well-being. Despite the increasing adoption of GAI tools, the mechanisms through which students’ AI literacy and self-regulated learning (SRL) relate to their academic and emotional experiences remain underexplored. This study investigates how AI literacy and SRL are associated with writing performance and digital well-being among university students in GAI-supported higher learning contexts. A survey was administered to 257 students from universities in China, and structural equation modeling was used to examine the hypothesized relationships. Results show that both AI literacy and SRL significantly and positively predict students’ writing performance, with SRL having a stronger effect. Moreover, AI literacy shows a positive association with GAI-driven well-being, with writing performance serving as a partial mediator in this relationship. These findings suggest that fostering both technological competencies and effective learning strategies may support students’ academic outcomes while supporting their psychological well-being in AI-enriched educational environments. By integrating AI literacy and SRL into a unified model, this study contributes to the growing body of research on GAI-driven well-being in higher education and offers practical implications for cultivating balanced and sustainable learning experiences in the age of GAI.

TL;DR
This study surveyed 257 university students in China and used structural equation modeling to examine how AI literacy and self-regulated learning relate to writing performance and GAI-driven well-being. Both AI literacy and SRL positively predicted writing performance, while AI literacy also positively related to well-being, with writing performance partially mediating that link.
Key findings
- AI literacy (β = 0.153, p < 0.05) and SRL (β = 0.237, p < 0.01) were significantly positively associated with writing performance; SRL was the stronger predictor.
- AI literacy was positively associated with GAI-driven well-being (β = 0.503, p < 0.001), and writing performance was also positively associated with GAI-driven well-being (β = 0.120, p < 0.01).
- Writing performance partially mediated the AI literacy–well-being relationship (indirect β = 0.018) and fully mediated the SRL–well-being relationship (indirect β = 0.029).
- Total effects on GAI-driven well-being were β = 0.521 for AI literacy, β = 0.120 for writing performance, and β = 0.029 for SRL.
Methods
- A survey was administered to 257 valid undergraduate and graduate students from a high-level comprehensive university in northern China; 89 (34.6%) were male and 168 (65.3%) were female.
- The questionnaire included demographic items and four multi-item 5-point Likert scales measuring AI literacy, SRL, writing performance, and GAI-driven well-being; data were collected online via Wenjuanxing from 12–18 December 2024.
- Analyses used EFA in SPSS 22.0, CFA in AMOS 26, and SEM to test the hypothesized relationships; model fit was acceptable (χ²/df = 2.67, CFI = 0.91, IFI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.08).
Limitations
- The paper states that the model omitted potential control variables such as prior academic achievement, baseline digital literacy, access to GAI tools, and socioeconomic status.
- The paper states that cross-sectional survey data restrict causal inference, and that the Chinese university sample may limit generalizability to other cultural and educational contexts.
- Evident from the text: writing performance and well-being were measured through self-report Likert scales rather than objective writing or clinical well-being assessments, and the writing performance scale had the lowest reported reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.68).

“Although the mediation model was theoretically informed, the findings reflect correlational patterns rather than confirmed temporal or causal effects.”

Undergraduates prioritize efficiency and accessibility, while postgraduates express ethical ambiguity and concerns about voice erosion despite recognizing benefits for lexical diversity.
“Undergraduates prioritize efficiency and accessibility, while postgraduates express ethical ambiguity and concerns about voice erosion despite recognizing benefits for lexical diversity (Hanh and Duyen, 2025; Shi et al., 2025).”
From Reimagining writing assessment for the AI era: a systematic review on balancing AI support and authentic skill growth (2026) · cites this paper as Shi et al., 2025
The Introduction says generative AI can save time and improve vocabulary, and the Literature Review (§2.2) discusses ethical concerns about AI-assisted writing. The Methods (§3.1) include both undergraduate and graduate students, but the passages do not report the claimed difference in their priorities or concerns, nor postgraduate concerns about voice erosion or recognition of lexical diversity. (LLM, conf=0.81)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPublication bias assessment revealed a "positive-utility" reporting bias favoring successful implementations while null or negative findings remain scarce.
“Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, publication bias assessment revealed a “positive-utility” reporting bias favoring successful implementations while null or negative findings remain scarce (Kumar et al., 2025; Shi et al., 2025).”
From Reimagining writing assessment for the AI era: a systematic review on balancing AI support and authentic skill growth (2026) · cites this paper as Shi et al., 2025
The Statistical Analyses section describes factor analysis and structural equation modeling, not a PRISMA review or publication-bias assessment. The Limitations section discusses possible bias from omitted variables, but no passage found reports a “positive-utility” reporting bias or a scarcity of null or negative findings (searched: positive-utility reporting bias; PRISMA 2020 publication bias assessment).

Abstract describes multiple universities, but methods describe one
MinorThe abstract says students were surveyed from universities in China, while the methods state that participants came from a single university.
“A survey was administered to 257 students from universities in China”
“Participants in this study were undergraduate and graduate students from a high-level comprehensive university located in northern China.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-06.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-06.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
