The questionnaire consists of four dimensions: ChatGPT-Mediated Linguistic Needs, ChatGPT-Mediated Affective/Emotional Needs, ChatGPT-Mediated Cultural Needs, and Perceived Role of ChatGPT as an Intercultural Mediator. The instrument includes 29 Likert-scale items designed for research applications in applied linguistics, second language acquisition, intercultural communication, and AI-assisted language learning.
