The past decade has seen the proliferation of health information portals; however, consumer acceptance of the portals has proven difficult and rate of use has been limited. This study developed a consumer acceptance model by integrating usability and social cognitive theories with the technology acceptance model to explain young Internet users’ acceptance of health information portals. Participants (n = 201) completed a self-report questionnaire measuring model constructs after attending a usability testing with a typical health information portal. Results showed that the hypothesized model accounted for 56 percent of the variance in behavioral intention to use the portal and explained consumer acceptance well. Both subjective usability and application-specific self-efficacy served as significant antecedents in the model, while application-specific self-efficacy also moderated the effect of subjective usability on perceived ease of use. The findings can help practitioners with the design and implementation of health information portals and other health informatics applications in support of consumer acceptance.

Acceptance Model

This work desires to observe and analyze (1) the computer anxiety consequence, self-adequacy of technology, perceived playfulness and understood ease of use the approach of using computers; (2) the consequence of computer anxiety, computer self-adequacy, and perceived playfulness, on the attitude of using computers mediated by. This study is a significant research and uses survey methods with data collection techniques using questionnaires and data analyzed using AMOS statistical software. The outcomes demonstrated that (1) computer self-adequacy, perceived playfulness and had a serious influence on the mentality of utilizing computers; (2) computer anxiety doesn’t have a straight influence on the attitude of using a computer; and (3) computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety and perceived playfulness have a serious influence on the potential of using computers across whole variable anticipated usability. This research can give to the development of science and technology with the Technology Acceptance Model and Social Cognitive Theory which theoretically can provide evidence and support for the progress of research in the scope of behavioral accounting, can form a positive attitude of students in the learning process so as to produce outstanding graduates who are able to accept technological developments.

Acceptance Model

During the last decades the economy has undergone a huge transformation in terms of telecommunication industry evolution. The use of mobile applications has been generally accepted in society but still little is known about how customers use these applications and how managers can obtain high levels of return on their investments in this domain. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been used for several years to predict the attitudes and behaviours of consumers of mobile services. However, several authors have recognized the limited applicability when it comes to explaining mobile service acceptance by customers. This paper uses a meta-analytic approach to review the acceptance of mobile services and analyse the relationships between TAM variables and consumer acceptance of mobile services. The authors searched all available academic computer databases to get a deeper understanding of this topic and uncover the most significant drivers of mobile application acceptance by consumers.
