THE INFLUENCE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND WELL-BEING: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a sector within computer science dedicated to creating systems designed to execute functions traditionally requiring human cognition, including visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation. Its significance for human well-being is highlighted by its role in refining and accelerating decision-making, elevating healthcare standards, boosting productivity in multiple sectors, and addressing intricate social issues. This study utilized a mixed-metho…

The quick read

On 2026-06-04 a peer-reviewed study reported results from 150 participants surveyed about AI's influence on behavior and well-being. Using a Likert-scale questionnaire analyzed in SPSS version 25, the authors found educational support had the highest mean at 4.89 and emotional and mental well-being had the highest mean difference at 4.9, with all T-tests significant at p < 0.000.

The pattern matters because it shows the same AI applications perceived as strongly helpful for personalized learning and well-being were also perceived as contributing to social isolation, though to a lesser degree at 3.05. It remains uncertain whether these self-reported perceptions translate to objective learning or health outcomes, and how they vary beyond the 150-person sample.

Main points
  • Mixed-method study with 150 participants using structured Likert-scale questionnaire analyzed with SPSS version 25.
  • Educational Support had highest mean at 4.89 indicating strong influence on personalizing education.
  • Emotional and Mental Well-being showed highest mean difference at 4.9 in One-Sample T-Tests with p < 0.000.
  • Social Isolation had lowest mean at 3.05 but still notable as AI-driven technologies might contribute to isolation.
Gain

AI use was associated with strong perceived gains in educational support through enhanced and personalized learning environments, and in emotional and mental well-being.

The rundown

The authors surveyed 150 participants with a Likert-scale instrument and reviewed literature from academic journals and online databases, analyzing responses in SPSS version 25.

One-Sample T-Tests across all variables returned p < 0.000, with educational support at 4.89 and emotional and mental well-being mean difference at 4.9, while social isolation scored 3.05.
