Share

1

The study developed the Academic AI Overreliance Scale to assess reliance on AI among health sciences university students.
2

Two studies with 437 students each were conducted in Ecuador to evaluate the scale's psychometric properties.
3

Study 1 identified a two-factor solution: Emotional-Dysregulated Reliance and Cognitive Reliance.
4

Study 2 confirmed the two-factor model with excellent fit indices and demonstrated measurement invariance across sex groups.
5

The scale showed adequate internal consistency for both factors, indicating its reliability for future research.
