This study investigates how enjoyment (or playfulness) affects user acceptance of hedonic-oriented (or pleasure) information technology based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). A research model was made to examine the effect of enjoyment on the user acceptance of hedonic information technology. 186 responses were collected from university students who had experiences on Daum's Digital View which is a well-known example of digital signage technology. The result of the statistical analysis reveals that enjoyment also had a strong effect on the acceptance of hedonic information technology, in addition to perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. However, perceived usefulness is reported to most strongly influence the adoption of Digital View. The effect of enjoyment on intention to use was also significant, but enjoyment shows a much low degree of influence than perceived usefulness on intention to use.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the acceptance and interpretation of pop musician's image in the Korean youth subculture, Fan Costume play(Fancos). Fancos subculture took the most active attitude to accepts of the pop musician's image and therefore was assumed to have various and differential acceptance aspects. The ethnographic method was used in order to approach more closely from their point of view. The cultural activity of Fancos subculture was imitation and reappearance of pop musician's appearance. Actually Fancos is a kind of fan-culture which idolized Korean pop music star. The acceptance of musician's appearance in Fancos is found out in two aspects. One is passive acceptance aspects that inforces conformity of star fashion and follows servilely ideal body image which promoted by cultural industry. The other is unique acceptance aspects that Fancos members interpret the musician's image in their own way. Those members experience pleasure through their own meaning. And homology of their appearance makes a distinction between of themselves from other youth and intensifies their group identity. As above analyzed, Fancos subculture has differential acceptance of pop music star's image comparing to other youth and even their stylistic appearance reflects not only their fandom but also their own meaning. Consequently, pop musician's image as a popular cultural text is accepted not equal to all populace but dissimilar along with contexts and trails of the acceptance group.

The Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) proposed by Davis(1989) has been applied as a reliable and robust model in the study of user’s adoption of different technologies. However it is necessary to incorporate additional constructs to the original model in the quest for increased predictive power. This study investigate consumer’s acceptance of smart clothing applied by the extended TAM. Besides perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, clothing involvement is included in the extended TAM. Data were collected from the adults over 20 years old living in Seoul and other metropolitan areas from March 2 to March 12, 2009. 815 copies of data were analyzed to examine a structural model and test research hypotheses using AMOS package. The study showed the extended TAM for smart clothing was validated empirically in predicting the individual’s acceptance of smart clothing and 5 hypotheses among 7 hypotheses were supported. Specifically, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and clothing involvement were the factors affecting attitude toward smart clothing. Attitude toward smart clothing was influenced directly by perceived usefulness and clothing involvement but influenced indirectly by perceived ease of use. Acceptance intention toward smart clothing was influenced strongly by attitude. From a theoretical point of view, the study extended the TAM for smart clothing. Moreover, this study would be beneficial for those who would develop smart clothing by providing information about attitude and acceptance intention of smart clothing consumers.

This study examined (1) whether romantic partners' or close friends' acceptance-rejection perceived by college students is related to their psychological adjustment indicated by hostility/aggression, dependency, negative self-esteem, negative self-competence, emotional unresponsiveness, emotional instability, and negative world view; (2) whether parents' behavioral control in childhood and romantic partners' or close friends' behavioral control perceived by college students are related to their psychological adjustment; (3) how parents' behavioral control and acceptance-rejection in childhood perceived by college students are related with each other; and (4) how romantic partners' or close friends' behavioral control and acceptance-rejection perceived by college students are related with each other. The subjects were 163 college students enrolled in universities located in Seoul or Kyungki-do in Korea. The results indicated that college students' perceptions of their romantic partners' or close friends' acceptance-rejection are related to their psychological adjustment, that college students' perceptions of their parents' behavioral control and romantic partners' or close friends' behavioral control are related to their psychological adjustment, and that college students' perceptions of parents' behavioral control are related to their perceptions of parents' hostility/aggression, indifference, and rejection and the results were the same for the romantic partners' or close friends' behavioral control and acceptance-rejection.

A Politician Appearance Acceptance Model (PAAM model) was formed and designed based on an analysis of how the electorate would accept a female politician. The PAAM model evaluated factors which influenced the voter's view of the female politician based on appearance. Causative factors were assessed that impacted acceptance based on appearance and analyzed whether voting was influenced by the appearance image; appearance image preferences for a female politician included the classic, dramatic, romantic and natural images. Through validations, the appearance image and competency had a causative factor that contributed to the acceptance of the politician image. The Classic Image demonstrated the strongest and most important image among the appearance images. As voters were more interested in the appearance image of a female politician, more emphasis and weight was on the appearance image during the voting selection process.

As ICT technology develops rapidly and social and consumer interactions require more knowledge of the technology, the interest for baby boomers' ICT technology acceptance is increasing as they age. However, previous studies have limitations as they lack a systematic and in-depth understanding of this phenomenon in which the emerging elderly population embraces emerging technology. To overcome this limitation, this study carried out a phenomenological study on baby boomers' ICT technology acceptance. In addition, since existing studies have just simply listed variables or proved the relationship between a few variables, this study aimed to find the relationship between variables by analyzing the data obtained through semi-structured interviews. Through this procedure, it was aimed to construct conceptual model which illustrates the relationships between variables so that understanding the phenomenon of baby boomers' acceptance of ICT technology with a holistic view could be possible. The ten variables suggested by Lee & Coughlin (2015) that cover multiple sides of baby boomers' technology acceptance were used. As a result, we found that there is a sequential relationship between these variables and different agents can be related to each variable in sequence. Also, from an ecological perspective, we analyzed baby boomers and their surroundings to find agents involved in this phenomenon.

This paper considers the following case: (1) the product is paid by the right price for a lot accepted by a given consumer's acceptance sampling plan, and (2) the product is paid by the discounted price for a lot rejected by this plan. In such a case, the producer's sampling plan need not be the same as that of the consumer's. From the producer's view point, the producer need to determine the preliminary sample size which maximizes his revenue. This paper, therefore, determines an optimal preliminary sample size from the producer's view point. This preliminary sample size is affected by the consumer's acceptance sampling plan, percent defective, preliminary inspection cost and the discount rate of the price.

Technological advances have recently led to the development of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) which is a small airplane being able to take off and land vertically. It is emerging as an alternative to transportation services in the city in the future because of the advantage of providing speed and congestion problem in cities like taxis. This research aim to study the user's acceptance of UAM. Based on the survey conducted abroad, the analysis was carried out based on th Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), by Davis et al. (1989). According to the data analysis results of 292 people, Technology, Reliability and Price effect perceived usefulness, which in turn effects Behavioral intention. UAM cannot be operated independently by a single company. It consists of partnerships with vehicles, transport platforms, batteries and other related company. To improve acceptance of UAM, it is required that collaboration between companies and support from government. And while UAM is being developed, research on acceptance from user's point of view should continue.
