“…A small group has a positive attitude towards novelty and is likely to adopt new technologies [88]. Edison and Geissler [98] state that a lot of people are uncomfortable with technological changes and uncertainty that goes along with these changes, and therefore are unwilling to accept them. The majority chooses familiar and traditional products [99].…”

An Extended Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour to Predict the Usage Intention of the Electric Car: A Multi-Group Comparison

An Extended Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB) is developed that integrates emotions towards car driving and electric cars as well as car driving habits of the DTPB, and is empirically validated in a Belgian sample (n = 1023). Multi-group comparisons explore how the determinants of usage intention are different between groups of consumers differing in environmentally-friendly behaviour, environmental concern, innovativeness and personal values. Besides attitudes, media, perceived complexity, compatibility and relative advantage, emotions towards the electric car and reflective emotions towards car driving have a strong effect on usage intention. Car driving habits and perceived behavioural control (facilitators and constraints) do not substantially affect usage intention. Only people differing in personal values show a different motivational structure for a number of important drivers of usage intention.

“…A similar instrument for measuring the individual response to modern technological change is put forward by Edison and Geissler (2003). While focusing on positive affect towards technology, their concept also encompasses cognitive aspects and social expectations of peers.…”

“…For the main purpose of this paper, establishing technophilia as the core driver of willingness to use ATIS, it is necessary to substantiate the construct, discriminant, and criterion validity of the measure (Bortz and Döring, 2006;Edison and Geissler, 2003). While well-founded measurement instruments for technophilia already exist, they have not yet been confirmed for the specific application to ATIS technology.…”

“…Edison & Geissler, (2003) [9] Said that there is a tough process in order to know about the influence of technology on society and its members when it is overestimated. Technology affects everyone in the society as it changes the fabric and leads to expedite the process of economic development and innovation.…”
