The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the employment situation on the anxiety levels and research self-efficacy of graduate students, with a particular focus on female graduate students. The study aims to understand how the use of AIGC tools, which has become more frequent among those with lower research self-efficacy, affects anxiety and research resilience. Additionally, the research explores the role of the mentoring relationship in influencing the psychological and academic experiences of female graduate students.
The research involved 1164 female master's and doctoral students and employed a moderated chain mediation model. This model was constructed based on social cognitive theory and Habermas interaction theory to analyze the relationships between research self-efficacy, mobile phone dependence, anxiety, and research resilience. Data was collected and empirically analyzed using SPSS 26.0, a statistical software, to examine the proposed relationships and the moderating effect of the mentoring relationship.
The findings revealed that scientific research self-efficacy positively influences research resilience among female graduate students. Additionally, mobile phone dependence and anxiety were found to play a chain mediating role between self-efficacy and research resilience. The study also discovered that the mentoring relationship negatively moderated the effects of mobile phone dependence and anxiety on these students.
Based on the results, the study concludes that mentors and academic administrators should consider the research capabilities and interests of students when assigning research tasks. It is recommended to establish a flight instructor mentorship system that maximizes the strengths of each mentor to support students, especially those with suboptimal mentor-mentee relationships. This approach could help in providing positive guidance and improving the research resilience of female graduate students who are more susceptible to anxiety and mobile phone dependence.
本研究旨在调查就业状况对研究生焦虑水平和研究自我效能感的影响，尤其关注女研究生。该研究旨在了解研究自我效能感较低的人群中日益频繁使用的人工智能生成内容（AIGC）工具如何影响焦虑和研究恢复力。此外，该研究还探讨了导师关系在影响女研究生心理和学术经历方面的作用。
该研究涉及1164名女硕士和博士研究生，并采用了有调节的链式中介模型。该模型基于社会认知理论和哈贝马斯互动理论构建，以分析研究自我效能感、手机依赖、焦虑和研究恢复力之间的关系。使用统计软件SPSS 26.0收集数据并进行实证分析，以检验所提出的关系以及导师关系的调节作用。
研究结果显示，科研自我效能感对女研究生的研究恢复力有积极影响。此外，发现手机依赖和焦虑在自我效能感和研究恢复力之间起链式中介作用。该研究还发现，导师关系对手机依赖和焦虑对这些学生的影响起负向调节作用。
基于研究结果，该研究得出结论，导师和学术管理人员在分配研究任务时应考虑学生的研究能力和兴趣。建议建立飞行教员指导体系，充分发挥每位导师的优势以支持学生，尤其是那些导师-学生关系欠佳的学生。这种方法有助于提供积极指导，并提高更容易焦虑和手机依赖的女研究生的研究恢复力。
