Psychological and social factors influencing AI painting tool adoption among young-old adults in the context of creative aging.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: AI painting tools (AIPT) are creating new opportunities for creative aging, digital inclusion, and social participation among young-old adults. However, the psychological and social factors associated with their adoption remain underexplored. This study examined the factors associated with intention to use AIPT among adults aged 60-69 by extending the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with technological characteristics, social support, and individual motivational factors. Methods: Data from 450 valid respondents were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results: The results showed that output quality (OQ), relative advantage (RA), and trialability (TR) were positively associated with perceived usefulness (PU), with OQ showing the strongest association. Perceived ease of use (PEOU) was associated with RA, intergenerational support (IS), peer influence (PI), hedonic motivation (HM), and personal innovativeness (PIN), highlighting the importance of technological simplification, social support, and motivational readiness in older adults' digital creative engagement. PEOU also showed a stronger association with intention to use (IU) than PU, suggesting that usability may be particularly salient in AIPT acceptance among young-old adults. Discussion: By situating technology acceptance in the context of creative aging, this study advances understanding of age-specific digital adoption and emphasizes the practical importance of age-friendly design, high-quality AI-generated output, and IS in supporting later-life creativity and inclusion.
