Methods:
The data collection tools used were a Personal Information Form, an Attitude Scale Toward Wearable Technological Sports Products, and an Attitude Scale Toward Artificial Intelligence. IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 and Hayes PROCESS Macro were used for data analysis; descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, and mediation analysis were applied.
Results:
The findings revealed significant gender differences in attitudes toward smart sports technologies and artificial intelligence, as well as significant and positive relationships among cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes and a strong predictive effect of these attitudes on attitudes toward wearable sports technologies.
Conclusions:
In conclusion, it can be said that individuals' cognitive evaluations of artificial intelligence influence their emotional and behavioral tendencies, thus shaping their attitudes toward smart sports technologies. These findings demonstrate that psychological attitude dimensions play a significant role in the adoption of artificial intelligence and wearable technologies in sports environments.
