To ensure ethical compliance:
                        Participation was anonymous.
                        No personal identifying information was collected.
                        Respondents provided informed consent before completing the survey. Data were
                  used strictly for academic research purposes.
                        3.5. Data analysis techniques
                        Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the
                  proposed hypotheses and examine the relationships among variables.
                        The analysis followed a two-step approach:

                        3.7. Ethical considerations
                        The study followed ethical research standards in accordance with university
                  guidelines. Participants were informed about the voluntary nature of participation and
                  their right to withdraw at any time. Data confidentiality and anonymity were strictly
                  maintained.
                        4. Results
                        4.1. Respondent profile
                        A total of 342 valid responses were collected from university students. After data
                  screening, no significant missing values or outliers were identified. The sample consisted
                  of 52% female and 48% male students. Approximately 63% were undergraduate students
                  and 37% were postgraduate students. More than 70% reported using generative AI tools
                  (e.g., ChatGPT) at least once per week.
                        4.2. Measurement model assessment
                        The measurement model was evaluated using reliability and validity tests, including
                  factor loadings, Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability (CR), average variance extracted
                  (AVE), and discriminant validity (HTMT ratio).
                        4.3. Reliability and convergent validity
                        All factor loadings exceeded the recommended threshold of 0.70. Cronbach’s alpha
                  and composite reliability values were above 0.70, and AVE values exceeded 0.50,
                  confirming convergent validity.
