Exploratory moderator analyses suggested that effects were larger in higher education than in primary\/secondary education, larger in collectivistic than individualistic contexts, larger in language learning than in other subjects, and larger when GenAI was used on mobile devices (MD) rather than computers. The observed subgroup differences should be interpreted cautiously because these moderators represented study-level characteristics rather than experimentally manipulated conditions.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>GenAI-supported learning is associated with higher learning motivation on average; however, the substantial heterogeneity suggests that its motivational benefits are not uniform across educational contexts. Future research should identify the instructional, learner, and contextual conditions under which GenAI can most effectively support students' motivation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1832451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]],"date-time":"2026-09-24T13:14:26Z","timestamp":1790255666000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of generative artificial intelligence on students' learning motivation: evidence from a meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Longyue","family":"Fang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematical Sciences, East China Normal University","place":["Shanghai, China"]},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Practice, East China Normal University","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhenzhi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematical Sciences, East China Normal University","place":["Shanghai, China"]},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Practice, East China Normal University","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematical Sciences, East China Normal University","place":["Shanghai, China"]},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Practice, East China Normal University","place":["Shanghai, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhuotao","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Education Science, Qingdao University","place":["Qingdao, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","author":"Abdelghany","year":"2025"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/s44163-025-00373-y","article-title":"Modelling economics students' use of ChatGPT and academic performance: insights from self-determination theory and epistemic curiosity","volume":"5","author":"Acquah","year":"2025","journal-title":"Discov.
