본 연구에서는 관광 SNS를 이용하여 관광활동을 하는 관광객의 사회적 지원과 자기표현이 관광경험 그리고 관광 SNS 이용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석함과 동시에 관광객의 사회적 지원 및 자기표현과 관광경험간의 영향관계에서 관광 SNS에 대한 관광객의 이용목적 수준의 조절효과를 파악하였다. 연구결과로서 사회적 지원과 자기표현은 관광경험에 긍정적인 영향을 주며, 관광경험은 관광 SNS 이용의도에 각각 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 관광 SNS 이용목적은 자기표현과 관광경험간의 관계에서 조절효과가 있는 반면, 사회적 지원과 관광경험간의 관계에서는 조절효과가 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 시사점으로서 관광객의 SNS 이용의도를 증진시키기 위해서는 이 분야에 대한 보다 적극적인 연구 및 마케팅이 요구됨을 시사하고 있다.

이 연구는 최근 인터넷 및 모바일 플랫폼에서 인기를 얻고 있는 웹소설의 이용 특성이 콘텐츠의 몰입, 이용자의 만족도, 그리고 지속적인 이용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 338명의 웹소설 이용자를 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 설문 조사 결과, 웹소설 이용자는 콘텐츠 사용 과정에서 도전감과 숙련도를 느낄수록 몰입감이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 웹소설에 대한 몰입감은 웹소설의 만족도와 지속적인 이용의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤고, 웹소설에 대한 만족도가 높을수록 지속적인 이용의도도 높았다. 이러한 결과는 웹소설 이용자들의 몰입감을 높이기 위해서는 도전감과 숙련감을 느낄 수 있도록 해야 한다는 사실을 보여준다. 아울러 이용자들이 웹소설을 지속적으로 이용하도록 하기 위해서는 웹소설의 몰입감과 만족도를 높이는 것이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있다.

Spread of internet service had a huge effect on usage and spread of SNS world widely. Variety of the service has increased from human network managing to commerce, education, payment method and so on. Also, it is expanding its service territory to not only PC area but also that of mobile equipment with development of information technology. Spread of use on SNS provides existing corporations the expansion of service area. Late SNS starter companies are advancing in diverse way for attracting users by serving shopping, games and other services with association with SNS. Therefore, analysis on consumers' thought and pattern which analyze users' demand, service's function and contents and other factors in order to reflect on plans and operations of SNS is needed. On this perspective, this research is suggesting properties that are crucially related to sustained usage of SNS and study factors of SNS's characteristics that influence trust and satisfaction on SNS and continuous usage intent of SNS.

As information technology rapidly develops and the period required to enter new technology shortens, there emerges a wide variety of alternatives for consumers. When there are many alternatives in the market, users choose after making comparisons. This process of making comparisons is our research key. We established a research model to find a mixed effect that comes from new attitudes to technology adoption and alternative's continuous usage intention. The effect is revealed through a relative attractiveness (RA) factor to explain a user's process of comparison. We empirically test our research model in the new media services, such as mobile TV, web TV, and mobile IPTV. According to our research results, a continuous usage intention of an existing technology is an important factor to explain the adoption of a new technology. So, the contribution of our research is in finding a role for the RA factor in research in new technology adoption.

With the rapid growth of the internet, Social Network Services (SNSs) have played an important role. As the use of SNSs increases, users experience a sense of responsibility to respond to other people's messages or requests, and consequently experience an social overload, feeling too much social support for other users. In this study, we examined the effects of social overload on loneliness and SNS discontinuous usage intention. To verify the research model, data were collected from 83 SNS users and analyzed using SmartPLS, a structural equation modeling tool. The results of this study showed that the communal orientation and the degree of use of SNS influenced the social overload, and the social overload had a significant effect on loneliness and SNS discontinuous usage intention. The findings of this study are expected to help understand the social overload and loneliness in the use of SNS, and may also provide a strategic direction for SNS service providers.

This study examines the reason why consumers try to use the online shopping cart more, and especially analyzes the influence of personal psychological factor such as regulatory focus. Hypotheses are tested with a two-way ANOVA model using experimental data collected from 210 undergraduate students at a business school in South Korea. We found that prevention focused consumers try to use online shopping cart more than promotion focused consumers. It is possible that prevention focused consumers try to consider as many alternatives as possible to ensure safety as they focus on negative results or losses during shopping online. However, we also found out when the buying purpose is utilitarian, promotion focused consumers are not different from the promotion in terms of the usage intention of online shopping carts. Marketing managers can provide different messages customized for their consumers by leading them to use the online shopping cart in a more effective way.

This paper develops the research model for the understanding of learner's usage intention in web based collaborative learning(WBCL) system. This model is based on the Davis' Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) and Social Interactivity Theory. Data is collected 225 University students from two different institutions. They were divided into 46 groups and asked to complete an online TOEIC preparation module using WBCL systems over 4 weeks. Data were collected at three points for each participant-before, 3 weeks after, and at the end of the online module. The result show that TAM based Belief factors(Usefulness, Ease of use, Playfulenss) are important determinants of usage intention in WBCL systems. The study also found the external factors of the extended TAM to be subjective norm, leader's enthusiasm in WBCL context.

Previous research has shown that the use of self-disclosure, the process of revealing personal thoughts and feelings, in conversational agents (CAs) increases overall user evaluations. However, research exploring the effects of self-disclosure in different situations or dialogue types is limited. This study investigated the effects of self-disclosure and dialogue type (task- vs. social-oriented) on trust, usefulness, and usage intention. Results showed significant interaction effects between self-disclosure and dialogue type. For CAs that did not use self-disclosure, trust, usefulness, and usage intention were higher in task-oriented dialogues. In contrast, CAs that did use self-disclosure had higher trust, usefulness, and usage intention in social-oriented dialogues. These results suggest that researchers and designers should consider the specific dialogue types and corresponding user goals when adding human qualities, such as self-disclosure, to CAs.
