“…Based on the S-O-R model, the factors of the stimulus are information quality, system quality and virtual object characteristics; we posited the users fit (cognitive fit and emotional fit) as the organism and user satisfaction and intention of continued use as the responses. Hsu et al (2016) believed that if users received high-quality information (i.e. high quality in terms of integrity, accuracy, diversity and reliability), they would have a more fruitful and pleasant experience, which would have a greater effect on the cognition of users.…”

“…Systems depend on user demand, and the stability, safety, privacy and simplicity of the system are all essential factors (Ahn et al, 2007). As game technologies have rapidly advanced, the most basic system developments have been accompanied by complex elements, such as visual and audio assistance, global positioning systems for users and VR or AR (Hsu et al, 2016). These elements intensify the quality of people's cognition of the system.…”

PurposeAugmented reality (AR) has become a trend, and the effects of Pokémon Go, the most popular online and mobile game, have been explored in many studies. However, few studies have developed questionnaires of fit to investigate the relationship between the fit and the integration of the game's virtual world and reality. The paper intends to integrate the models of stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) and information systems success with cognitive fit theory to explore the fit and reactions of users in the integration of real and virtual worlds.Design/methodology/approachFollowing MacKenzie's scale development, two surveys were conducted. The first survey was conducted to perform a scale development of fit. The second survey was collected from 315 Pokémon Go players to validate the fit scale and it was analyzed via structural equation modeling.FindingsThe results show that scale development of fit has good reliability and validity. Furthermore, game information quality, game system quality and virtual (Pokémon) characteristics have significantly positive effects on cognitive and emotional fit. Cognitive and emotional fit have significant positive effects on user satisfaction, and user satisfaction has significant positive effects on continued intention to play. The results suggest that maintaining the quality of the game and improving the virtual interface will provide a better fit between the real and virtual worlds, enhancing user satisfaction with the fit as well as their intention for continued use.Originality/valueAlthough fit has been widely studied in various contexts, the application of AR has been rarely discussed. This study develops a scale of fit and takes Pokémon Go as the subject to validate the fit measurement and discuss players' cognition and feelings regarding the game. The authors measure user reactions to different stimuli and explore cognitive and emotional fit as well as the integration of virtual worlds and reality. In sum, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the earliest studies to explore and develop a cognitive and emotional fit scale for future researchers and practitioners.

“…Individuals' continued intention to use the online learning system can be predicted by analyzing these vital aspects [2], [29], [34]. Therefore, design quality is crucial to create an engaging environment that easily supports learners accessing the preferred information [41]. Huarng et al [42] argue that individuals are attracted by interface design, and their experience encourages them to decide whether to continue using it or not.…”

Rapid technological growth and frequent modification in user usage behavior consequently emerge new challenges for online learning service providers to continuously determine individuals’ experiences to maintain their level of engagement. Accessible interfaces and interactive services play a key role in increasing user engagement with technologies. The intent is to seek deeper insights to determine potential interface design features that heighten curiosity and absorption, leading to continued intention to use. An application MOOC prototype was created to collect data from participants and used to validate the proposed research model and hypotheses. The partial least squares method was used to analyze the collected data. It was found that the design characteristics increased the level of curiosity and immersed participants in the learning environment, causing them to lose their sense of time and develop a sense of temporal dissociation. This study will draw the attention of e-learning service providers to learners' perceptions of learning resources.

“…After the rise of multimedia, CA efficacy has been widely applied in technology media acceptance research and has been found to be a key antecedent for acquiring a deeper understanding of the formation of user beliefs and IS/IT usage intention. Examples include e-learning and mobile learning (Reychav and Wu, 2015a, 2015b; Shah and Soror, 2019; Cheng, 2022), mobile instant messaging (Hou and Shang, 2018; Hou et al , 2019) and social networking site (Hsu et al , 2016; Hsu and Lin, 2017; Guinaliu-Blasco et al , 2019). In the e-learning and social network context, Cheng (2022) found that CA positively influences cloud-based e-learning continuance intention and performance outcomes.…”

Purpose Podcasting is a new mobile technology application for language learning. Drawing upon the stimulus–organism–response model and the interest driven creator (IDC) theory from e-learning, this study aims to develop and test an integrative conceptual framework. This study investigates contextual and environmental stimuli effects (content richness [CR], self-directed learning [SDL] and situational interest [SI]) from a podcast English learning context on learners’ experience states (cognitive absorption [CA], pleasure [PL] and arousal [AR]) and their subsequent responses (continuance learning intention [CLI]). Design/methodology/approach Using 416 valid responses from five universities located in North Taiwan, data analysis is performed using a structural equation model. Findings The results show that most of the interest factor stimuli (CR, SDL and SI) have significant impacts on learners’ experiences (CA, PL and AR), which in turn affect their CLI. Practical implications The findings provide useful insights for English show podcasters and operators to invest in establishing learners’ interest factor and stimulating experiences to improve their CLI. Originality/value This paper contributes to a better understanding of students who use contextual factors of podcast English learning and how these factors influence their CLI via a framework of stimulus–organism–response and the IDC theory.
