Dataset on Cognitive Dependence on Generative AI Tools among Bangladeshi University Students

Description

This dataset contains survey responses collected from 2,614 Bangladeshi university students to investigate cognitive dependence on generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in academic environments. The dataset includes demographic information, AI usage behavior, trust in AI systems, critical thinking tendencies, and AI-assisted academic decision-making patterns. Responses were collected using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire from students across public and private universities in Bangladesh. The dataset may support research in Human-AI Interaction, Educational Technology, Behavioral Analytics, AI Ethics, and Social Computing.

Steps to reproduce

Data were collected through a structured online questionnaire distributed among university students from public and private universities across Bangladesh. The survey focused on generative AI usage, cognitive dependence, trust in AI, critical thinking, and AI-assisted academic decision-making. Responses were collected using a five-point Likert scale ranging from Strongly Disagree (1) to Strongly Agree (5). A total of 2,614 valid responses were gathered. Data preprocessing involved removing incomplete entries, duplicated responses, timestamps, and personally identifiable information to ensure anonymity and data quality. The dataset was organized in CSV format for analysis and reproducibility. The questionnaire structure and variable descriptions are included as supplementary files. The dataset can be reproduced by conducting a similar survey using the provided questionnaire among university students in comparable academic environments.
