Guilt, Shame and the Submit Button: Self-Conscious and Moral Emotions in Students' Use of Generative AI
Year: 2026
Type: study-registration
Abstract: A systematic review protocol. Two emotion literatures have formed around student generative AI use and only the achievement-emotion side has been synthesised. This review maps how self-conscious and moral emotions, guilt, shame, pride, regret and moral disengagement, have been conceptualised, measured and evidenced, and audits whether studies claiming to measure guilt separate it from shame.
