Technology adoption has been an important issue for researchers and practitioners. In this paper, we identified the relationships between intention of technology adoption and technological affinity and other psychometric characteristics. We believe that technology affinity may be one of the general psychometric traits of individuals, and thus people have a different affinity levels which may influence the technology adoption intention. As a result it was found that need for cognition and self efficacy had positive influence on technology affinity, and the affinity also positively affected adoption intention. In addition, it was also found that technology affinity displayed a mediating role for the consumers adoption intention with need for cognition and self efficacy.

This study is to verify the accommodation attitudes and intention of use of the end-users to use the drone distribution delivery service that is to be introduced in Korea. For a research purpose, the research model and hypothesis in this study have been set based on by using the SPSS 22.0. Upon these, the extended technology acceptance model has been used to verify the correlation service of new technology, and the result has shown that the user of drone distribution delivery service has a causal relationship with individual innovation and that the accommodation behavior and intention of use have a causal relationship with economic efficiency and convenience. However, there was no causal relation from a perceived risk. Hence, based on the results of study about accommodation behaviors and intention of use of the end users of drone distribution delivery service, the marketing implications have been provided for commercialization of drone delivery service.

Online games belong to a technology-oriented service industry that has emerged from the assimilation of game contents and communication networks in the respective realms of culture technology (CT) and information technology (IT). This study examines the individual acceptance of online games as entertainment-oriented technology based on the belief-attitude-intention paradigm and the underlying hedonic and utilitarian motivations. To measure the latent variables influencing the acceptance process, a structured questionnaire was developed based on the existing Technology Acceptance Model. Research model analysis and hypothesis testing were carried out using a structural equation model. Results indicated that latent variables reflecting hedonic and utilitarian characteristics had a significant influence on user behavior in the acceptance of online games. By uncovering the core factors in! fluencing the acceptance of online games and thereby theoretically verifying the latent variables influencing the acceptance of entertainment-oriented technology, this study provides strategic implications for business models by game companies aimed at attracting a large user base and dominating the market.

This research has been studied to analyze affecting factors for the consumer's acceptance to mobile advertisement by worldwide survey into mobile users of Korea, U.S. and Japan. Based on TAM & Flow theory, our research adopts some factors for a theoretical model such as entertainment, information, irritation, credibility, flow experience, attitudes and acceptance intention. And our research collects data from common consumers & students of each countries to try comparative study with mobile users who has different scope & environment of markets. This data was analyzed based on using AMOS, the structural equation modeling and a second-generation multi variant technique, and has gained distinct advantages over other technique.

Recently, as the non-face-to-face environment has developed due to COVID-19 and environmental pollution, the importance of online digital healthcare is increasing, and venture start-ups and activities such as health care, telemedicine, and digital treatments are also actively underway. This study conducted the impact on the acceptability of digital healthcare smartwatches with an integrated approach of the expanded integrated technology acceptance model (UTAUT2) and the behavioral inference model (BRT). The most advanced integrated technology acceptance model for innovative technology acceptance research was used to identify major factors such as utility expectations, social effects, convenience, price barriers, lack of alternatives, and behavioral intentions. For the study, about 410 responses from ordinary people in their teens to 60s across the country were collected, and based on this, the hypothesis was verified using structural equations after testing reliability and validity of the data. SPSS 23 and AMOS 23 were used for research analysis. Studies have shown that personal innovation has a significant impact on the reasons for acceptance (use value, social impact, convenience of use), attitude, and non-use (price barriers, lack of alternatives, and barriers to use). These results are the same as the results of previous studies that confirmed the influence of the main value of innovative ICT on user acceptance intention. In addition, the reason for acceptance had a significant effect on attitude, but the effect of the reason for non-acceptance was not significant. It can be analyzed that consumers are interested in new ICT products and new services, but purchase them more carefully and selectively. This study has evolved from the acceptance analysis of general-purpose consumer innovation technology to the acceptance analysis of consumer value in smartwatch digital healthcare, which is a new and important area in the future. Industrially, it can contribute to the product's purchase and marketing. It is hoped that this study will contribute to increasing research in the digital healthcare sector, which will play an important role in our lives in the future, and that it will develop into in-depth factors that are more suitable for consumer value through integrated approach models and integrated analysis of consumer acceptance and non-acceptance.

This paper analyzes the resistance to mobile commerce services in consumer adoption process. Relative advantage, compatibility, perceived risk, complexity, self-efficacy, innovativeness and attitude for competing service have been chosen as independent variables. This paper also investigates on the significant factors which resist against adoption of mobile commerce service according to adoption phase. The results show that relative advantage, self-efficacy, perceived risk, attitude for competing service are significant factors to affect resistance to mobile commerce services. Relative advantage, perceived risk, attitude for competing service are significant resistance to mobile commerce services for consumers in before-adoption group and compatibility, complexity, self-efficacy are significant factors for consumers in after-adoption group. This study can be extended to new communication services such as Wibro and DMB to reduce resistances in early adoption phase.

The ordinary term 'believe' is polysemous and thus its meaning varies depending on contexts. Little attention, however, has been paid to its context sensitivity in philosophical discussions, and thereby unnecessary problems tend to be brought about in philosophy. This article explores the different meanings of the term 'believe' to serve as a steppingstone to the solving or dissolving of those problems. To begin, it discusses two different mental attitudes 'believe' stands for, i.e., belief as an involuntary mental disposition and pragmatic acceptance as a mental action, and then suggests and explicates another mental action 'believe' referes to, which I call 'epistemic acceptance'. It will be revealed that epistemic acceptance is a secondary mental action which is performed in a context where epistemic reason and non-epistemic reason compete each other. Then, attention is given to several questions concerning epistemic acceptance and answers to them are provided. The issue of whether epistemic acceptance is analyzable and of the relation between epistemic acceptance and judgment will be addressed in the course of answering them. Finally, a brief prospect is put forward that distinction of different mental attitudes 'believe' stands for will bring a new perspective to solve some philosophical problems, especially, with regard to the issue of the nature of epistemic norm.

2007 년 3 월 3.5 세대인 HSDPA 의 전국 서비스가 시작되면서 HSDPA 휴대전화는 영상통화를 중심으로 한 다양한 기능으로 소비자를 유혹하고 있지만 설문조사에 의하면 HSDPA 에 대해 소비자들은 과반수 이상이 필요성을 못 느끼고 있고 3 세대에서 2 세대로의 '역(逆) 번호이동'도 꾸준히 늘고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 소비자들이 HSDPA 휴대전화라는 신기술에 대해 기술 수용과 혁신 저항을 동시에 하고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 기술 수용과 혁신 저항의 관점에서 연구를 진행하였다. 연구결과는 유용성, 편이성, 혁신제품의 특징, 더 좋은 제품 기대가 태도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고 자기효능, 복잡성, 지각된 위험, 기존 제품에 태도는 태도에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
