ChatGPT and generation ‘Z’: A study on the usage rates of ChatGPT

Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the prevailing patterns in the utilization of technology, specifically chatGPT. It determines the influence of Generation ‘Z,’ students' perspectives, and adoption tendencies on the rate of chatGPT usage. Data were analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM) through Amos version 24, focusing on university students (n = 307). Findings showed a direct relationship among all variables: students' views, Generation Z's, and adoption tendencies. All three variables had a positive impact on chatGPT usage rates. Of all three independent variables, Generation ‘Z' had the most significant impact on chatGPT usage among university students. This study focused on students enrolled in public universities; future research could investigate the demographics of students attending private universities, specifically those in the twelfth grade and academics.
