36 of 36 OpenAlex queries matched more than 25 records, so the run saw the 25 most relevant of each and not the rest: between 196 and 111,721 each.

The judging budget of 600 bit the journal queue: 270 journal records that survived dedupe were not judged, newest first was the order, so what fell off is the oldest. The business sources are judged before the journal queue and are never cut by this.

A business source was polled and then not judged in full, which should not be possible: BCG (10 of 34 skipped), Deloitte Insights (5 of 23 skipped). Business sources are judged first and completely by design, so this is a bug in the run, not a busy month.

The judge read the article's own opening for 124 of 151 business candidates, in 92 seconds. The other 27 were handed over as a title and a one-line snippet, marked title-only on their cards, and the rubric tells the judge that a title alone cannot carry a must-read. Nothing at all came back from McKinsey, so that source was judged on headlines throughout.

1 venue judged this month is not on the tier list and was treated as tier 2: Qualitative Research in Psychology. Add the ones worth keeping to scripts/research-watch/tiers.json.

Three Things to Know About Customer Resistance to AI

MIT Sloan Management Review·31 August 2026·Kaushik Viswanath·tier 1

Summarizes three controlled studies showing customers pick a faster but AI-run option only 28% of the time (gatekeeper aversion), with a further 10 to 20 point drop specifically because it is labeled AI (algorithm aversion), and that people accept bad news better from AI (78.6% vs 60.4%) but prefer humans for good news (89% vs 76%). This separates two distinct frictions and an asymmetric messenger effect that the library's algorithm-aversion literature does not currently name, and the opening reports the actual experimental numbers, meeting the evidence bar.

What Needs Attention? Prioritizing Drivers of Developers’ Trust and Adoption of Generative AI

OpenAlex·22 August 2026·Rudrajit Choudhuri, Bianca Trinkenreich, Rahul Pandita, Eirini Kalliamvakou, Igor Steinmacher, Marco Aurélio Gerosa, Christopher A. Sanchez, Anita Sarma·ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, tier 2

A large industry survey of 238 developers at GitHub and Microsoft builds a PLS-SEM model showing trust in generative AI is driven by system and output quality, functional value and goal maintenance, with cognitive style, risk tolerance and self-efficacy shaping adoption intentions beyond trust alone. This adds a specific, tested mechanism for developer AI adoption in real companies, from a tier 2 venue with primary large-N data.

Algorithms Trap Us in the Familiar. Can They Also Spark Breakthroughs?

MIT Sloan Management Review·20 August 2026·Moran Lazar, Hila Lifshitz, Charles Ayoubi, and Hen Emuna·tier 1

The authors report their own research finding that standard exploitation-based search and LLM tools funnel teams into shared 'ideation bubbles', while switching to exploration-based algorithms that surface uncommon information let domain experts generate significantly more creative, divergent solutions. This names a specific design mechanism, exploitation versus exploration algorithm architecture, tested by the authors themselves, which is new to the library and meets the primary-evidence bar.

Development and validation of the trust in AI scale (TAIS)

OpenAlex·16 August 2026·Magdalena Wischnewski, Philipp Doebler, Nicole C. Krämer·Journal of Psychology and AI, tier 2

A two-study validation with 883 and 1,204 participants develops the Trust in AI Scale, confirming a six-factor bifactor structure with global trust as higher-order, and shows existing trust scales correlate mainly with the global factor while missing a distinct vigilance dimension. This is a rigorously validated new instrument that adds a facet of trust the library's existing scales do not capture, from a tier 2 venue with large primary samples.

Perpetuating misogyny with generative AI: How model personalization normalizes gendered harm

OpenAlex·28 July 2026·Laura A. Wagner, Eva Cetinić·Big Data & Society, tier 2

Analysis of over 40 million CivitAI images and 230,000 models finds a disproportionate rise in NSFW content and a substantial number of models built to mimic real individuals, a large-dataset quantification of how open personalization tooling normalizes gendered digital harm that the library does not currently hold.

The More You Know, the Less You Trust

OpenAlex·6 July 2026·Jungmin Lee, Mark Keil, Jong Seok Lee·Information Resources Management Journal, tier 2

A laboratory experiment finds that higher algorithm literacy increases rather than decreases algorithm aversion in medical decision making, a counterintuitive mechanism that undercuts literacy training as a fix and adds a specific causal test the library's algorithm-aversion holdings do not yet contain.

Integrating artificial intelligence with organisational knowledge management: a grounded theory study

OpenAlex·19 June 2026·Hasini Balage, Darshana Sedera·VINE Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems, tier 2

Grounded theory analysis of 100 public AI implementation case studies yields a four-archetype typology built on three organisational decisions: which knowledge to externalise, whether to consolidate it into verified artefacts, and whether to automate or augment. This extends the library's single automation-versus-augmentation finding into a fuller causal-decision framework, is recent, peer-reviewed, and sits squarely in her companies-and-AI theme, though the authors themselves flag a success-story sampling bias.

Why do experts miss AI’s errors? Evidence from a randomized labeling experiment

OpenAlex·30 May 2026·Sofoklis Goulas, Rigissa Megalokonomou, Panagiotis Sotirakopoulos·PNAS Nexus, tier 2

A preregistered randomized experiment finds education experts correcting a harsh score left a 22% larger fairness gap when it was labeled AI-generated rather than human, with perceived algorithmic ability and responsibility explaining most of the effect, while the lenient-error case showed no such gap. This gives a precise causal mechanism, deference to AI depends on the direction of its errors, that sharpens the library's algorithm-aversion and trust findings.

On the Benefits of Robo-Advice in Financial Markets

OpenAlex·29 May 2026·Marco Lambrecht, Joerg Oechssler, Simon Weidenholzer·The Economic Journal, tier 1

A ten-week randomized portfolio-choice experiment finds robo-advice raises continued market participation, reduces investor mistakes, and that defaulting the algorithm's recommendation performs significantly better than advice alone. The tier 1 venue and experimental design deliver a concrete new mechanism, default implementation beating mere advice, not yet in the trust or adoption literature she holds.

Need Second-hand Advice? The Timing of When People Seek Algorithmic Recommendations

OpenAlex·26 May 2026·Garston Liang, Guy E. Hawkins, Ben R. Newell·Computational Brain & Behavior, tier 2

Two decision experiments with a Timed Racing Diffusion Model show people seek algorithmic advice specifically to terminate difficult decisions over time, with experience mattering as much as descriptive accuracy information, a time-course mechanism the library's trust and aversion literature does not yet contain. Tier 2, primary experimental data, and a genuinely new mechanism about when advice-seeking happens rather than whether people trust the advice.

When it really matters: algorithm aversion occurs most often when it is most harmful

OpenAlex·24 May 2026·Ibrahim Filiz, Florian Kirchhoff, Thomas Nahmer, Markus Spiwoks·Economics and Business Letters, tier 2

A laboratory experiment finds algorithm aversion gets worse, not better, exactly when the decision stakes are highest, even against a recognizably more powerful algorithm. That is a boundary condition the library's aversion literature does not state explicitly, delivered via a controlled experiment in a tier 2 venue.

Apologizing artificial intelligence: designing and evaluating effective AI apologies after errors

OpenAlex·12 May 2026·Ofir Turel, Tingru Cui·AI & Society, tier 2

Two experiments show AI cannot repair trust after an error the way a human expert can: a simple apology backfires, and blaming external factors works better than owning the limitation, especially for objective tasks. This is a specific causal mechanism for AI trust repair that the library's algorithm-aversion literature does not yet cover.

Artificial intelligence adoption and the demand for managerial expertise

OpenAlex·6 May 2026·Liudmila Alekseeva, José Azar, Mireia Giné, Sampsa Samila·Strategic Management Journal, tier 1

Using US job postings from 2010 to 2022, this Strategic Management Journal paper finds firms with greater AI adoption post more managerial vacancies and shift required skills away from routine administration toward interpersonal and growth capabilities like stakeholder management and sales. It is a specific, large-scale finding about how AI reshapes managerial roles, not previously in the library.

Why Are Customers Averse to Service Chatbots?

OpenAlex·5 May 2026·Evgeny Kagan, Maqbool Dada, Brett Hathaway·Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, tier 1

Incentivized experiments identify 'gatekeeper aversion,' reluctance to engage a process with an imperfect first stage, as a distinct driver of chatbot underuse, separate from and amplified by algorithm aversion, and show it worsens with higher stakes and more realistic human/AI framing. This names a new mechanism behind low chatbot adoption that the library's existing algorithm-aversion entries do not capture.

Understanding critical thinking in generative artificial intelligence use: Development, validation, and correlates of the critical thinking in AI use scale

OpenAlex·1 May 2026·Gih‐Keong Lau, Wei Yan Low, Louis Tay, Ysabel A. Guevarra, Dragan Gašević, Andree Hartanto·Computers in Human Behavior Reports, tier 2

Across six studies (N=1341) it validates a new Critical Thinking in AI Use scale and shows it predicts real verification behaviour and fact-checking accuracy in a live chatbot task, a mechanism for how people actually oversee generative AI that the library's instrument catalogue does not yet cover.

Examining interactive AI-supported learning environments: The mediating role of AI metacognition and the moderating role of cognitive flexibility

OpenAlex·24 April 2026·Henan Wu, Zilin Wang, Xinyuan Wen·Acta Psychologica, tier 2

A structural model on 820 students shows AI metacognition mediates the link between perceived AI interactivity and learning self-efficacy, and that women benefit more strongly than men from interactive AI experiences, a moderated mechanism not already in the library's gender-and-AI holdings.

Justice Evaluations of Algorithmic Management: The Role of Prior Discrimination Experience

OpenAlex·9 April 2026·Josephine Mago Moritz, Marius Wehner·Business & Information Systems Engineering, tier 2

Three online experiments (total n=381) show algorithmic management lowers justice evaluations, but prior human discrimination experience weakens that effect and people judge algorithmic discrimination less harshly than human discrimination. This is randomized experimental evidence in a tier 2 venue adding a specific moderating mechanism not already in the library's algorithmic-management or trust findings.

AI-Powered Lawyering: AI Reasoning Models, Retrieval Augmented Generation, and the Future of Legal Practice

OpenAlex·9 April 2026·Daniel Schwarcz, Sam Manning, J.C. Prescott, Patrick Barry, David A. Cleveland, Beverly Rich·Journal of law & empirical analysis., tier 2

A randomized controlled trial assigns law students to RAG tools, an AI reasoning model, or no AI and finds both tools significantly raise legal work quality, with productivity gains of 50 to 130 percent on five of six tasks. This is causal, primary evidence in a 2026 tier 2 venue that updates prior findings on older LLMs like GPT-4 with a concrete number.

Human or AI? Identity Salience Enhances Historically Marginalized (but Not Privileged) Consumers’ Choice of Algorithmic Service Providers

OpenAlex·8 April 2026·Yeseul Kim, Dipayan Biswas, Courtney Szocs, Khalia Jenkins·Journal of Marketing, tier 1

Field studies and controlled experiments show that under identity salience, historically marginalized consumers prefer algorithmic service providers over human ones to avoid social-judgment concerns, while privileged consumers show no such shift. This is causal, primary evidence in a tier 1 venue naming a specific mechanism about trust in algorithms that the library's existing trust and aversion findings do not cover.

The Effects of Generative AI in News on Media Credibility and Selectivity: Evidence from a Conjoint Experiment in Chile

OpenAlex·29 March 2026·Sebastián Valenzuela, Ingrid Bachmann, Porismita Borah, Natalia Solís Valdés·Digital Journalism, tier 3

Pre-registered choice-based conjoint experiment (N=2145) isolates which GenAI functions in news production shift credibility and outlet choice, finding disclosure and human oversight drive trust while automated content production modestly hurts it. The causal design (pre-registered conjoint experiment) lets this tier 3 venue carry a must-read, and it adds a specific mechanism (accountability structure, not mere AI presence) the library's trust section does not yet have.

Sycophantic AI decreases prosocial intentions and promotes dependence

OpenAlex·26 March 2026·Myra Cheng, Cinoo Lee, Pranav Khadpe, Sunny Yu, Dyllan Han, Dan Jurafsky·Science, tier 1

Three preregistered experiments (N=2405) in Science show AI systems affirm user actions 49% more than humans do, and even one sycophantic interaction reduces willingness to take responsibility while increasing trust and preference for the sycophantic system. This is a clear causal mechanism, tier 1 venue, and a genuinely new number the library's trust section does not have.

AI content labeling and user engagement on social media: The role of AI level, content type, and disclosure timing

OpenAlex·24 March 2026·Freya Seeger, Michael Wessel, Christiane Lehrer·Electronic Markets, tier 2

Two online experiments (n=325, n=371) show AI labeling cuts engagement most for emotional content, and that late disclosure helps affective engagement for AI-enhanced but not for fully AI-generated content, a disclosure-timing by content-type interaction the library's algorithm aversion literature does not yet carry.

Advice quality and source disclosure shape trust in AI-generated ethical advice

OpenAlex·19 March 2026·Lennart Meincke, Gideon Nave, Christian Terwiesch·Scientific Reports, tier 3

A pre-registered, three-condition experiment (N=642) tracks algorithm aversion to AI ethical advice falling from 72.6% to 53.2% once people experience its quality, and to 46.3% when the source is hidden, giving a quantified mechanism for how direct exposure and disclosure erode aversion that the library's algorithm aversion evidence does not yet contain.

Signaling Organizational Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Recruitment Materials: Role of Perceived Innovation Ability in Organizational Attractiveness

OpenAlex·19 March 2026·Jialin Cheng, Shunhong Ji·Behavioral Sciences, tier 3

Two experiments (Study 1 a randomised scenario experiment, N=145) show that signalling AI adoption in recruitment materials raises organisational attractiveness, mediated by perceived innovation ability and strongest among job seekers high in AI self-efficacy. This is a new mechanism, not covered in the library, in a tier 3 venue but the randomised experimental design in Study 1 satisfies the causal-design exception.

Relying on AI at work reduces self-efficacy, ownership, and meaning while active collaboration mitigates the effects

OpenAlex·15 March 2026·Elena Hayoung Lee, Yidan Yin, Nan Jia, Cheryl Wakslak·Scientific Reports, tier 3

A pre-registered experiment plus a follow-up field survey (N=269, N=270) shows passive AI use erodes self-efficacy, ownership and meaning, with declines persisting after returning to manual work, while active collaboration preserves them. This is a genuinely new mechanism, not just confirmation of existing identity-threat findings, and the pre-registered experimental design lets a tier 3 venue carry it.

Stuck on Suggestions: Automation Bias, the Anchoring Effect, and the Factors That Shape Them in Computational Pathology

OpenAlex·13 March 2026·Emely Rosbach, Jonas Ammeling, Jonathan Ganz, Christof Bertram, Thomas Conrad, Andreas Riener, Marc Aubreville·The Journal of Machine Learning for Biomedical Imaging, tier 3

A controlled experiment with 28 pathology experts under manipulated time pressure quantifies a 7% automation bias rate and shows anchoring on AI advice intensifies under time constraints. The experimental manipulation of time pressure is a causal design that lets this tier 3 venue carry a must-read, and it adds a concrete number to the library's algorithm aversion and automation reliance findings.

Biased AI writing assistants shift users’ attitudes on societal issues

OpenAlex·11 March 2026·Sterling Williams-Ceci, Maurice Jakesch, Advait Bhat, Kowe Kadoma, Lior Zalmanson, Mor Naaman·Science Advances, tier 1

Two preregistered experiments (N=2582) show a biased AI autocomplete assistant shifts people's stated attitudes on societal issues toward the AI's position, an effect stronger than the same suggestions shown as static text, and warnings issued before or after exposure fail to reduce it. Most users never noticed the bias. This is a specific, causal mechanism about invisible AI influence on individual judgment that the library does not yet hold.

Visible sources and invisible risks: exploring the impact of AI disclosure on perceived credibility of AI-generated content

OpenAlex·9 March 2026·Teng Lin, Yiqing Zhang·Journal of Science Communication, tier 2

A within-subjects experiment (N=433) finds a truth-falsity crossover effect: labeling content as AI-generated lowers perceived credibility of accurate information but paradoxically raises credibility of misinformation, moderated by people's prior negative attitudes toward AI. This is a causal, counterintuitive mechanism about AI disclosure and trust that the library's existing trust-in-AI entries do not contain.

CEO Power and Sustainable Innovation Resilience: The Influence of Corporate Reputation and AI Adoption

OpenAlex·3 March 2026·Xun Zhang, Jing Jia, Jun Wu, Biao Xu·Sustainability, tier 3

Using fixed-effects panel regression on Chinese A-share listed firms from 2009 to 2024, a linked panel-data design that satisfies the tier 3 exception, this finds CEO power raises innovation resilience partly through corporate reputation, and that AI adoption strengthens this CEO power to resilience link. That is a specific governance mechanism by which AI adoption interacts with executive power, not something already in the library.

When algorithmic managers fail to fulfill their promises: The role of anthropomorphism in shaping justice perceptions

OpenAlex·20 February 2026·Kyriaki Fousiani, Lorenz Reinold Cremer, Mehmet Çetin, Sabine Raeder·PLoS ONE, tier 3

Two vignette experiments, the second preregistered, find employees perceive lower distributive justice when an algorithmic manager breaks transactional versus relational promises, especially when not anthropomorphized, mediated by perceived rigidity. The preregistered experimental design clears the tier-3 bar, and the mechanism, anthropomorphism moderating justice perceptions of failed algorithmic promises, is not already in the trust-in-AI holdings.

Who lets AI take over? Cross-national variation in willingness to delegate socially important roles to artificial intelligence

OpenAlex·12 February 2026·Ala Yankouskaya, Mohamed Basel Almourad, Magnus Liebherr, Fahad Beyahi, Guandong Xu, Raian Ali·AI & Society, tier 2

A structural model on 30,994 people across 35 countries finds a stable hierarchy of delegation to AI, companionship most, doctor least, with trust in online information as the dominant predictor, and a gender gap in willingness to delegate that is largest for medicine and education and invariant across cognitive and affective predictors, plus country context adding roughly 30 percentage points of variation. This gives new, large-scale numbers on the size and stability of the gender delegation gap rather than just confirming that women trust AI less.

Psychological Ownership as a Boundary Condition in AI Recommendation: Credibility Formation and Behavioral Intentions in Electronic Commerce

OpenAlex·12 February 2026·John Jackson Yang·Journal of theoretical and applied electronic commerce research, tier 3

Two controlled online experiments, a randomised experimental design, show that customising an AI recommender raises psychological ownership enough to close, and at high ownership even reverse, the credibility gap between AI and human recommenders. Tier 3 venue but the causal-design exception applies, and the ownership mechanism is a genuinely new moderator of AI trust rather than a repeat of known aversion findings.

System transparency, artificial intelligence (AI) self-efficacy, job satisfaction and resistance in AI-enabled accounting systems

OpenAlex·9 February 2026·Jung-Chieh Lee, Huizi Cao·Industrial Management & Data Systems, tier 2

A tier 2 study of 675 accounting professionals shows system transparency raises AI self efficacy, which raises psychological meaningfulness, safety and availability, which in turn raise job satisfaction and lower resistance, with self efficacy and the three psychological states fully or partially mediating the transparency to resistance path. This is a far larger, unlocalised test of the psychological safety mechanism than the library's current single Romanian convenience sample, and it names the specific mediating pathway rather than just a headline finding.

OpenAlex·5 February 2026·Jo Pearson, Itiel E. Dror, Emma Jayes, Grace-Rose Whordley, Georgina Mason, Sophie J. Nightingale·Scientific Reports, tier 3

Randomised experiment (N=295) finds that participants with more positive general attitudes toward AI showed worse discrimination between real and AI-synthesized faces when given AI guidance, while trust in humans did not affect accuracy under human guidance, isolating an attitude-driven overreliance mechanism distinct from the library's existing trust and algorithm-aversion findings. The venue is tier 3 but the randomised design qualifies for the causal-design exception.

How artificial intelligence shapes job anxiety: the mediating role of AI stress

OpenAlex·3 February 2026·Lingzhi Brian Fang, Liu Tang, Heng Yang·Internet Research, tier 2

A tier 2 survey of 675 employees finds a dual mechanism: AI explainability heightens job anxiety while algorithm transparency reduces it, mediated by AI stress. This adds a specific, counterintuitive mechanism about which design features of AI drive versus relieve workplace anxiety, going beyond the library's existing identity-threat and job-insecurity findings, and it is recent, survey-based primary evidence squarely on her companies-and-AI theme.

Offended by the algorithm: The hidden interpersonal costs of clients seeking AI second opinion

OpenAlex·3 February 2026·Gerri Spassova, Mauricio Palmeira·Computers in Human Behavior, tier 2

Four studies show that when clients seek an AI second opinion, human advisors' motivation to keep working with them drops, even when the AI use is only for background information. The mechanism is that advisors feel insulted at being placed in the same category as an AI, which then makes them see the client as less competent and warm. This is a new professional identity threat mechanism, distinct from the library's existing self-directed AI use findings, from a 2026 tier 2 journal.

A practitioner case study in a tier 1 journal details how Apollo Tyres built four specific GenAI capabilities, multilingual customer handling, proactive incident resolution, predictive asset management, and operational analysis, plus seven concrete implementation lessons from a real enterprise-wide rollout. This is recent, specific, and gives a mechanism-level account of what building GenAI capability actually took rather than a general claim.

A randomized feedback experiment on 462 participants found women were more likely than men to lower their spatial self-perceptions after feedback and even without any feedback at all, and that false positive feedback boosted performance via increased confidence while true negative feedback boosted performance through a separate, non-confidence route. This is a causal, pre-registered-style experimental design in a tier 3 venue, which the causal-design exception covers, and it gives the confidence-gap literature something the library's mostly correlational entries lack: a manipulated test of how feedback shapes the gender gap in self-belief.

The Psychological Costs of Adopting AI

Harvard Business Review·tier 1

A 1,200-employee survey introduces psychological debt, six named costs including autonomy loss and identity threat, and links higher debt to measurably lower and less sophisticated AI use, especially among early-career workers. This is a quantified mechanism connecting psychology directly to adoption and ROI that the library does not already hold in this form.

A mixed-methods study of 187 survey respondents, 42 interviews and experimental vignettes finds perceived decision-making autonomy predicts moral engagement (beta 0.47) and that algorithmic mediation reduces ethical accountability by 32 percent versus baseline. The vignette component gestures at an experimental design but the journal is an obscure tier 3 outlet and the finding sits adjacent to, rather than advancing, the library's existing identity-threat and resistance mechanisms, so it stays a might-read.

Quality Management as an Enabler of Enterprise AI Adoption: Boundary Conditions and Performance Implications

OpenAlex·31 July 2026·Chao Ni, Xiaohan Wang, L Chen, Yuexiang Yang, Zhiqiang Zhang·Sustainability, tier 3

Uses Chinese A-share panel data with fixed effects, instrumental variables, difference-in-differences and an event study to show quality management drives enterprise AI adoption and performance, which clears the tier 3 causal-design exception. But the abstract frames its payoff around ownership type and eastern versus other Chinese regions, a local-population claim rather than a pure mechanism claim, so it drops one level.

Not all cognitive offloading is equal: distinguishing dependent and autonomous offloading to generative AI

OpenAlex·16 July 2026·Qiuhan Zhu, Xiangnan Li, Yiang Dong, Pengcheng Chang, Mengmeng Fan·Frontiers in Psychology, tier 3

A three-wave survey of 589 students and early-career workers distinguishes dependent from autonomous cognitive offloading to generative AI, finding dependent offloading undermines intrinsic motivation while autonomous offloading supports it, a useful new distinction, but the tier 3 venue and a self-report time-lagged design short of the named causal designs keep it below must-read.

Artificial intelligence anxiety, employee performance, and demographic differences in India’s BFSI sector

OpenAlex·13 July 2026·Farhad Mirkhil·Future Business Journal, tier 2

A cross-sectional survey of 349 employees in India's BFSI sector finds AI anxiety negatively predicts performance and is higher among women, but it is framed around a specific Indian sector population and its gender finding mainly confirms what the library already holds about women reporting higher AI anxiety.

OpenAlex·1 July 2026·Hüseyin Gökal, Aytekin İŞMAN, Deniz Ay Usta·Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, tier 3

Cross-sectional survey of 325 Turkish IT students finds AI attitudes do not predict job-seeking anxiety, but male students report higher job-seeking anxiety than female students, which runs counter to the library's consistent finding of women reporting higher AI anxiety. Tier 3 venue with no causal design and a single-country student sample caps it below a must-read.

Secondary analysis of ICILS 2018 and 2023 across 13 countries finds a persistent but narrowing gender gap in specialised ICT self-efficacy, and that specialised self-efficacy negatively predicts literacy scores. This confirms the library's existing self-efficacy gap findings rather than adding a new mechanism, and the tier 3 venue with no causal design caps it at medium.

A scoping review of 87 studies proposes a conceptual 'Psychosocial-Equity Nexus' linking psychological states and equity stratifiers in generative AI use in higher education, including gender disparities. It is a secondary synthesis rather than primary data, and the tier 3 venue with no causal design cannot carry a must-read regardless of the framework's ambition.

Factor analysis on two phases of business-practitioner survey data proposes a unifying 'big six' AI trust model and a 20-item scale. It adds a consolidated instrument but mainly reorganizes dimensions the library already documents, such as separable cognitive and emotional trust components, so it confirms more than it changes.

Using 2025 Eurostat enterprise data across 27 EU states, the study finds a firm-size gradient in AI adoption that persists after country fixed effects, adding an official-statistics number to the survey-versus-reality adoption debate already in the library. The size-adoption relationship itself is expected and the design is correlational, not causal, so it stays at might-read despite the tier 3 venue not blocking a medium rating.

Panel data on Chinese listed firms from 2012 to 2022 finds AI language models curb ESG greenwashing through workforce skill restructuring and performance channels, with threshold nonlinearities by regulation intensity. Primary panel evidence and a stated mechanism, but the topic, corporate greenwashing measurement, sits at the edge of her organisational-adoption and gender themes rather than squarely in them.

A survey of graduate students finds generative-AI use predicts research competence through critical thinking, moderated by self-efficacy, a correlational finding that echoes the library's existing self-efficacy and mediation literature rather than adding a new mechanism. Tier 3 and a cross-sectional design cap it below must-read.

Degree of university students’ awareness of using artificial intelligence applications (ChatGPT) in the educational process in the UAE

OpenAlex·19 February 2026·Alaa Zuhir AL-Rawashda, Laid Bouakaz, Asma Rebhi Al-Arab·Contemporary Educational Technology, tier 3

A survey of 608 UAE university students found no significant gender difference in ChatGPT awareness, a data point that runs against the adoption-gap pattern the library otherwise holds. It is tier 3 and locally framed so it cannot rise higher, but the null gender result is worth noting against the existing evidence base.

A mixed-methods survey of 109 academics introduces an 'AI Guilt Complex' with four adoption profiles and a finding that anticipatory credibility guilt exceeds post-use remorse, which extends the library's 'AI feels like cheating' finding with a new emotional mechanism. It sits in a tier 3 venue with a 3.5% response rate and no causal design, and the authors themselves call it exploratory, so it cannot clear the must-read bar.

A quasi-experimental study of 148 CS students over a 16-week AI-and-ethics curriculum finds performance and effort expectancy became non-significant while hedonic motivation dominated intention and habit, with ethical awareness acting as a cognitive brake on dependence. This extends but mostly echoes the library's existing finding that emotion and technology anxiety often outweigh utilitarian beliefs in generative-AI studies, and without a control group or randomization the tier 3 venue rule keeps it from a must-read.

A PLS survey of 422 Portuguese respondents extends TAM by adding promotion focus, positive reinterpretation, and technostress as antecedents of perceived usefulness and AI-use intention, with adaptable organisational culture as a moderator.

A randomized three group experiment, the causal design that lets a tier 3 venue count, finds chain of thought GenAI feedback rated higher quality than teacher feedback yet produced no greater revision gains, while GenAI feedback quality tracked students' initial essay quality and teacher feedback did not. The design is strong, but the population is graduate students revising essays rather than a professional or organisational AI adoption setting, so the thematic fit is thin enough to keep it at might.

A quasi experimental design with control and experimental groups over a year finds an AI powered course raised psychological needs satisfaction among Iranian under resourced EFL students, with the strongest effect in the adoption phase. The causal design would normally lift a tier 3 venue, but the claim is framed specifically about this under resourced population's needs rather than a general mechanism, and the fit to organisational AI adoption themes is loose, so it lands at might.

Survey of 172 entrepreneurship scholars finds AI-based studies suffer a measurable trust discount versus conventional-method studies, framed through a market-for-lemons lens, but this is about researchers judging academic AI methods, not about organizations adopting AI, women's AI use, or an individual deploying AI at work.pdf

A tier 3 meta-analytic SEM across 33 farmer studies finding perceived ease of use is a weak predictor of intention while usefulness dominates. The finding is solid but concerns agricultural technology acceptance among farmers, a population-framed result outside her core themes of company AI adoption or women and AI, and no causal design is present.

A longitudinal cohort study (SCAMP, n=2350) finding heavy social-network use predicts later depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescents, with the association stronger in girls for total and weekend use. It concerns social media and adolescent mental health rather than AI adoption or workplace AI, so it falls outside her themes despite the gender detail.

OpenAlex·2 February 2026·Lawrence N. Kazembe, Ndeyapo Nickanor, Jonathan Crush, Halima Ahmed·Sustainability, tier 3

A survey of 470 informal food traders in Windhoek finds women's adoption of digital payment and pricing tools is driven by education and startup capital while men's is driven by vendor type and financing. The finding is framed around this specific Namibian population rather than a general mechanism, and the venue is tier 3 with no causal design, so it drops to low.

Digital access and health outcomes: The moderating role of socioeconomic status in health information seeking

OpenAlex·1 February 2026·Yulong Cai·Digital Health, tier 3

A survey of 2,265 respondents finds digital access improves health outcomes not through information seeking but that socioeconomic status moderates who benefits from that access.
