Abstract: This study examines the factors that influence people’s adoption and use of a digital library system and tests the applicability of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) introduced by Davis (1986) in the context of developing countries. Using data from a survey of 16 institutions in developing countries (N = 1082), a path analysis revealed that perceived ease of use of the system had a significant impact on perceived usefulness as the TAM suggested.

Abstract: This paper will explore the compatibility of acceptance and commitment therapy with feminist therapy. It argues that we can enrich our understanding and practice of empowering women by examining the meaningful intersections of these two therapies, from their philosophical foundations to their theoretical frameworks to their practice-based implications.

Abstract: Using the Technology Acceptance Model as a conceptual framework and a method of structural equation modeling, this study analyzes user attitude toward Cyworld drawing data from 314 Cyworld users. Individuals’ responses to questions about acceptance and usage of Cyworld were collected and combined with various factors modified from the Technology Acceptance Model. The results of this study show that user’ perceptions are significantly associated with their motivation to use Web2.0. Specifically, participation and involvement are found to have significant effect on users’ motivation. These new constructs are found to be Web2.0-specific factors, playing as enhancing factors to attitudes and intention.

Abstract: This study examines the factors that influence instructors’ adoption and use of an e-learning system in higher education and tests the applicability of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) introduced by Davis (1986). Using an online survey data (N = 191), structural equation modeling analyses uncovered that perceived ease of use of the system had significant impacts on perceived usefulness as the TAM suggested. Unlike the original model’s expectation, however, it was found that the indirect effect of perceived usefulness on actual system use was directed not through behavioral intention to use the system but through evaluation of the system. This study also found that motivation to use the system played a significant role in affecting perceived usefulness, evaluation, and actual system use of the system. The implications for future study were also discussed.

Abstract: A state's decision to fight depends on the expected costs and a willingness to accept them. Logit and duration analyses suggest that the probability and duration of international conflict are positively influenced by both.
