Abstract The present study aimed to examine the effects of regular exercise on attitude towards using exoskeletons and the mediating effects of technology anxiety and perceived usefulness among Korean older adults. Data was collected through online recruitment in February 2021. The sample comprised 310 people (Age: 65-89, M=70.18, SD=4.58) who did not report dementia. The dependent variable was the attitude towards using technology, especially lower limb exoskeleton robots for exercise. The independent variable, regular exercise, was coded as a binary variable. The mediating variables were technology anxiety and perceived usefulness measured by the sum of three questions about exoskeleton robots, respectively. Gender, age, education level, and household income were included as control variables. The mediating effect was estimated by serial path analysis and bootstrapping (model fit indices: χ2=18.400, df=8, p<0.05, RMSEA=0.065, CFI=0.973, TLI=0.940, SRMR=0.044). Results showed the total effect of regular exercise was significant (B=1.253, p<0.01) and the total indirect effect of it was significant(B=1.540, p<0.001). There was no significant direct effect of regular exercise on the attitude towards using technology. The association between regular exercise and the attitude of using technology was completely mediated by perceived usefulness (B=1.439, CI=0.569-2.358, p<.01). Although technology anxiety had no mediating effect alone, the serial mediating effect via the path from technology anxiety to perceived usefulness was significant (B=0.119, CI=0.004-0.332, p<.05). This study will be the first empirical study to examine the effects of health habits by expanding the senior technology acceptance model for older adults in Korea.

Abstract Older adults with a chronic health condition (e.g. hypertension) use various self-management methods. Healthcare technologies have the potential to support health self-management. However, it is necessary to understand the acceptance of these technologies as a precursor to older adults’ adoption and integration into their health plan. Our focus was on the factors older adults with hypertension initially consider when introduced to three new healthcare technologies that might support their health self-management. We compared their considerations for a blood pressure monitor, an electronic pillbox and a multifunction robot to simulate incrementally more complex technologies. Twenty-three participants (aged 65–84) completed four questionnaires and a semi-structured interview. The interview transcripts were analysed using a thematic analysis approach. We identified the factors that were frequently mentioned among the participants for each of the three healthcare technologies. The factors that older adults initially considered were familiarity, perceived benefits, perceived ease of use, perceived need for oneself, relative advantage, complexity and perceived need for others. Upon further reflection, participants considered advice acceptance, compatibility, convenience, facilitating conditions, perceived usefulness, privacy, subjective norm, and trust. We integrated the factors that older adults considered into the Healthcare Technology Acceptance Model (H-TAM), which elucidates the complexity of healthcare technology acceptance and provides guidance for future explorations.

The Impact

Currently, internet services are developing rapidly, and the relationship between specific types of internet services and the well-being of older adults is still unclear. This study took a total of 353 urban older adults aged 60 years and above as research objects to explore the impact of the use behavior toward internet-based medical services (IBMS) on their well-being through an online questionnaire. This study integrated well-being theory and peer support theory, constructed an extended structural equation model of technology acceptance based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), and analyzed the variable path relationship. The results confirm the proposed model: older adults improved their eudaimonic well-being through using IBMS; perceived usefulness significantly affected the older adults’ attitudes towards IBMS; perceived ease of use significantly affected the use of IBMS through mediation; peer support significantly affected older adults’ attitudes, willingness, actual use, and well-being in the process. This study proposes that facilitating IBMS use for older adults in the development and design of internet technology programs should be considered in order to provide them with benefits. Moreover, paying attention to peer support among older adults plays an important role in the acceptance of new technologies and improving their well-being. The “peer support” of this study expanded and contributed to the research on the impact on older adults’ well-being and the construction of a technology acceptance model. The peer support in this study extended the influence factor of eudaimonic well-being and contributed to the further development of the TAM.

Acceptance Model

The aim of this study is to investigate the factors affecting cloud computing technology application by using technology acceptance model 3 (TAM3). The conceptual model was empirically analysed. While the experience of employees has no moderating effect on the relationship between subjective norm and perceived usefulness, the effect of perceived ease of use on perceived usefulness is moderated by experience. In other words, the higher the experience, the higher the effect of perceived ease of use on perceived usefulness. In addition, perceived ease of use, in terms of the perceived enjoyment and playfulness variables, has a mediating effect. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use in cloud computing have positive effect on behavioral intention. Research on cloud computing and technology acceptance model has overlooked the mediating and moderating effect of variables in TAM3, on which very little work has been done.

<p>The aim of this article is to discuss how different factors affect the decision of intention to use and adopt mobile health applications using the extended technology acceptance model (TAM) among older adults in Iraq. “Perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), subjective norm (SN), and facilitating conditions (FC)” were four key predictors. Gender and age were included as factors for moderating the impact of two key TAM components in the proposed model (PU and PEU) on intention to use and adoption behaviors. The results of the past studies indicated that PU, PEU and SN were important predictors of adoption of mobile health applications among older adults in Iraq, While PU, SN, and FC were important predictors of the intention to use mobile health applications. Previous studies highlighted a strong impact of PEU on the intention to use mobile health applications on older adults than for younger adults. Implications are discussed for future research and practices.</p>

Abstract During the pandemic, technology-mediated communication was one of the few ways to maintain social and community connections. We explored how the pandemic impacted older adults’ use and appraisal of technology. In a random sample of 407 older adults (M age = 81.1 years; range 65-105 years) almost half (n = 161) reported they changed how they used technology to virtually connect with others during the pandemic, and 78 of these reported that this was new technology for them. We adapted the technology acceptance model (TAM) for the pandemic, the COVID-TAM, and describe how physical distancing led to new acceptance of technology due to an increased perception of usefulness of technology for maintaining community and social connections. The 71 older adults who denied using technology were asked about the reasons underlying their reluctance to use technology to access social networks and community events during the pandemic. Thematic analysis revealed factors consistent with a double-digital divide; lack of physical exposure to technology creates an additional psychological barrier to adoption of new technology. Of the technology-reluctant subgroup of older adults, few reported lack of perceived usefulness of technology during the pandemic. Instead, most reported lack of self-efficacy or fear of technology underlying their lack of technology use for social and community connections during the pandemic, which we incorporate into the COVID-TAM. Findings indicate that technology training can help mitigate this fear and increase social and community connections that are technology-mediated in circumstances where physical distancing is necessary.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence the behavioural intention towards 5G connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) adoption and to examine the mediating effect of trust between the factors and public acceptance. This research has adopted the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework. To test the hypotheses, 211 participants in Malaysia were surveyed through an online questionnaire. The results were tested using PLS-SEM. The research model was able to explain about 69% of the variability in technology acceptance. The results show that perceived compatibility and personal innovativeness significantly influence behavioural intention. Trust was found to mediate the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and social influence with behavioural intention to adopt 5G CAV. This paper will help the automobile industry and policymakers to accelerate the development of 5G CAV technology by anticipating the level of acceptance.

Tech-friendliness in this new era is an important quotient considered and the persons’ acceptance towards the technology frequency matters a lot. But still the frequency varies from person to person, this brought in the concept of Technology Acceptance Model given by Fred Davis in 1989. The theory of TAM is based on two theories that are Theory of Reasoned Action and Theory of Planned Behavior, TAM is extended version of these two. Green Banking is a new technology introduced by the banks that focuses on the growth of Sustainable development and Banking system too. Thus, banks ask their customers to use it or practice it in their daily life transactions. But every customer has their own point of view on the usage of Green banking. Thus, the research aims to understand the customers’ perception towards the Green Banking for this TAM is used. The research states that Perceived risk is the primary factor that is followed by perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use that impacts the decision to use green banking. Thus, the behavioral intention results in actual use of green banking usage for which people are trying to accept the new technology. So, the banks have earned points for creating awareness among their customers but still they have to work hard and clarify their customers’ problems and vanish that hitch that is stopping them to use green banking easily.

E-learning is a method of delivering knowledge using information technology and electronic media for the remote users. The advantages of e-learning method can be fully achieved with the postgraduate studies as majority of the postgraduate students are engaged in learning while they are working and also geographically dispersed due to the family and work life thus physically appearing for the lecture sessions are difficult to them. This paper attempts to develop a framework to measure the postgraduate students’ perceived technology acceptance by developing a modified version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which replaces perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use in the original model of TAM with relative advantage and complexity and incorporate other variables of trialability, observability, compatibility, psychological wellbeing and social influence of the students. The developed model is validated using 30 postgraduate students from Sri Lanka and thus this model can be used in future researchers to measure the perceived e-learning acceptance of postgraduate students.
