Cyberpsychol Behav. 2008 Jun;11(3):262-7. doi: 10.1089/cpb.2007.0062.

Abstract

This study proposes a model for evaluating usage intention toward interactive information technology. The test results reveal that usage intention is influenced directly by satisfaction, perceived ease of use, perceived personalization, and perceived social interaction, while being also influenced indirectly by perceived reliability, perceived instantaneity, perceived ease of use, perceived social image, and perceived social interaction via the mediation of satisfaction.
