Study design. (A) Online participants first completed a human/AI judgment task in which they had to identify which source, human or AI, had generated the text (left). Two social media comments (right) were then shown, side-by-side, with one written by a human and one by AI. Participants were instructed to select the comment that was written by a human. (B) Participants then completed psychological assessments measuring executive functioning (Flanker task), nonverbal fluid intelligence (Ravens Matrices, RSPM), empathy (Questionnaire for Cognitive and Affective Empathy, QCAE), and smartphone and social media habits (Mobile Technology Engagement Scale, MTES).
