| contents | <p><span lang="EN-MY">As AI becomes increasingly integrated into adolescents' lives, it is essential to understand the factors that shape their engagement with AI to foster responsible and confident use. This study examines how family dynamics, based on the McMaster Model of Family Functioning (MMFF), influence adolescents' adoption of AI, focusing on family functioning, parental attitudes, and gender. Using SmartPLS 4, we assessed these relationships. Findings indicate that specific dimensions of family functioning, such as communication, affective responsiveness, and affective involvement, significantly predict adolescents’ confidence and interest in AI, with parental attitude further enhancing these effects. Gender differences also emerged, suggesting that boys and girls respond differently to family interactions in their engagement with AI. The findings emphasize the importance of family in shaping responsible AI use and suggest that fostering open communication and emotional support within families can improve adolescents’ digital readiness. This study contributes to the growing literature on family influences in technology adoption, recommending family-centered strategies to equip adolescents with the skills and attitudes required for an AI-driven future. Future research directions include examining cross-cultural variations and the longitudinal impacts of family dynamics on technology adoption patterns in adolescence.</span></p> |
