Employed Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses to examine the latent structure of the scale.
Refined the scale to 13 items across two correlated factors: Intention/Predisposition and Trust/Perceived Benefit.
Demonstrated high internal consistency and good statistical fit.
Found significant associations between acceptability and respondents’ self-reported LLM usage frequency.
