Abstract

This study investigates the relationships between social support, AI literacy, and well-being among university students. Drawing from social cognitive and digital resilience theories, the research explores how students’ ability to understand and use artificial intelligence (AI) tools interacts with perceived social support to predict mental and emotional well-being. Using data from 412 undergraduate students, results revealed that AI literacy positively correlated with well-being (r = .47, p < .01) and that social support moderated this relationship. Findings highlight the growing importance of AI literacy as a digital competency linked to students’ psychosocial adjustment.
