Abstract

At present, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is one of the widely studied topics in the academic community, however, not many studies investigated the attitudes of the graduate students in foreign languages disciplines towards GAI-assisted academic paper writing. Accordingly, the present study employed a mixed-methods research approach to investigate the attitudes of Chinese graduate students in foreign languages disciplines towards GAI-assisted academic paper writing and the factors influencing these attitudes. The findings indicated that Chinese graduate students in foreign languages disciplines generally maintained positive attitudes towards GAI-assisted academic paper writing, with Effort Expectancy identified as the key factor influencing this attitudinal orientation. Further analyses revealed 4 types of GAI users: Collaborative Innovative Users, Technology-Oriented Users, Professionally Guided Users, and Novice Exploratory Users. This paper could expand the boundaries of research on the attitudes towards GAI-assisted academic paper writing, and provide inspiration for educators to enhance the GAI-assisted research capability of graduate students in foreign languages disciplines.

外语专业研究生对人工智能辅助学术论文写作的态度研究。

目前，生成式人工智能（Generative Artificial Intelligence， GAI）是学术界广泛研究的课题之一，但调查外语专业研究生对GAI辅助学术论文写作的态度的研究并不多。因此，本研究采用混合方法的研究方法来调查外国学科中国研究生对人工智能辅助学术论文写作的态度及其影响因素。研究结果表明，外语专业的中国研究生普遍对人工智能辅助学术论文写作持积极态度，而努力预期是影响这种态度倾向的关键因素。进一步分析显示，GAI用户有四种类型：协作创新用户、技术导向用户、专业指导用户和新手探索性用户。本文可以拓展对人工智能辅助学术论文写作态度的研究边界，并为教育工作者提高外语学科研究生人工智能辅助研究能力提供启示。
