Social anxiety was measured using the Social Anxiety Scale for Children (SASC), learning adaptability was assessed with the Children's Learning Adaptability Questionnaire (CSAQ), behavioral problems were evaluated using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and AI tool usage was gauged through a self-developed questionnaire.

Learning adaptability partially mediated this relationship, suggesting that social anxiety not only directly impacts behavioral problems but also indirectly heightens the risk by reducing learning adaptability. Additionally, AI usage moderated the relationship between learning adaptability and behavioral problems, with a stronger effect of learning adaptability on behavioral problems observed at higher levels of AI usage.

AI technology plays a moderating role in the relationship between learning adaptability and behavioral problems, with its effects becoming more pronounced at higher levels of AI usage.
