“…People with computer anxiety may choose not to use computers if they had choices (Karahanna, Ahuja, Srite, & Galvin, 2002). Computer anxiety is regarded as a form of state anxiety that may be improved via appropriate interventions or conditions (Brown, Deng, Poole, & Forducey, 2005;Igbaria & Iivari, 1995;Thatcher & Perrewe, 2002;Vician & Davis, 2002).…”

Knowledge mobilization is about translating new knowledge into practice. Virtual learning processes play an important role in diffusing knowledge. This study addresses the personal and cognitive dimensions of virtual learning. A survey (n = 403) was conducted to understand how individual characteritics influence perceptions of ease of use of e-learning systems. Our findings show that e-learning system self-efficacy and computer anxiety mediate the effects of personal innovativeness with IT and computer playfulness on perceived ease of use.

“…The constructs Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy (renamed Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use to suit the home rather than work environment), Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Intention to Use and Actual Use were adapted for the used questionnaire. We also included Anxiety, and Attitude toward using the technology: although they were not included in the UTAUT model, several other studies found these factors directly influential [31][32][33][34]. Moreover, we were interested in measuring elderly participants' levels of Anxiety and Attitude toward the assistive social agent.…”

This paper proposes a model of technology acceptance that is specifically developed to test the acceptance of assistive social agents by elderly users. The research in this paper develops and tests an adaptation and theoretical extension of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) by explaining intent to use not only in terms of variables related to functional evaluation like perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, but also variables that relate to social interaction. The new model was tested using controlled experiment and longitudinal data collected regarding three different social agents at elderly care facilities and at the homes of older adults. The model was strongly supported accounting for 59-79% of the variance in usage intentions and 49-59% of the variance in actual use. These findings contribute to our understanding of how elderly users accept assistive social agents.

“…Regression, partial least squares, basic statistics, and structural equation modeling were the most frequent statistical analyses performed. Factor analysis, Chi-Square tests, analysis of variance, and principal component analysis were Brown, et al, (2005) . They use the survey method to gather data on various traits proposed as exogenous determinants of computer anxiety for physical therapists using telemedicine systems.…”

“…They end in saying that while the use of an Electronic Medical Record may be mandatory for the physician-residents in their study, if they had a choice, the majority of physicians would use the paper chart. A new dimension for technology adoption is discussed based on personality traits and the way in which they influence computer anxiety in a study by Brown, Deng, Poole, and Forducey, (2005). Computer anxiety, of course, is an inhibiting factor in the adoption of, in this case, telemedicine applications.…”

This article focuses on the evolution of theory, methodology, and practice regarding the role of adoption, implementation, diffusion, and evaluation factors, and the interaction of these factors at various levels, to healthcare system success. These topics continue to present challenges to organizations, the research community, and to society in general. The first place that new waves of thought are often aired is at conferences. This article explores the evolution taking place in this domain by looking back through the years over work presented at the longest standing conference track focused on adoption, implementation, diffusion, and evaluation factors in e-health and the interaction of these factors at various levels to healthcare system success.
