Associations between the technology readiness index and general attitudes towards artificial intelligence scale.

Table 5 Note: Correlations (r, p), and ANOVA tests (F, p).Technology Readiness Index subscales are listed on the top row, and our newly constructed subscales for General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale are listed in the leftmost column, N = 99. The p-values for the correlations are based on two-tailed tests with alpha at .05. F and p are from the multiple regression’s ANOVA for the factors, calculated with type 3 Sums of Squares, with dfs 1, 94. Please be reminded that all negative items on both scales were reverse-scored, so the higher a score the more positive the attitude.
