Mobile apps have been transforming how individuals and organizations share information and conduct business. This research studies the relationships among user readiness factors, privacy concerns, and user acceptance of mobile app stores. A survey was conducted among college smart phone users. Results indicate that the privacy concerns construct has a direct negative effect on purchase intention of mobile apps in the app store. In addition, user readiness has a direct positive effect on attitudes to the app store, and a net positive effect on purchase intention of apps in the app store. Implications of our findings were discussed.

BACKGROUND Prenatal anxiety is one of the most prevalent mental disorders in prenatal period. Self-efficacy and resilience, the well-known positive resources, could help prevent the symptoms of anxiety during pregnancy. OBJECTIVE This study assessed the prevalence of prenatal anxiety and examine whether resilience could play a mediating role in the relationship between self-efficacy and prenatal anxiety of Chinese pregnant women. METHODS From July 2018 to July 2019, a multi-site smart phone survey was carried out in three cities (Shenyang in Liaoning province, Zhengzhou in Henan province and Chongqing) in China. A total of 665 pregnant women participated in the study. A hierarchical multiple regression (HMR) model was used to test the predictors and mediators of prenatal anxiety. A structural equation model (SEM) was applied to test the hypothesis that resilience mediates the relationship between self-efficacy and prenatal anxiety. RESULTS The HMR model indicated that self-efficacy contributed most to the variance (11.9%) of prenatal anxiety and had a significant negative correlation with prenatal anxiety (P<0.01) among pregnant women. Resilience had a significant positive correlation with self-efficacy (P<0.01) and was negatively correlated with prenatal anxiety (P<0.01). Resilience served as a mediator between self-efficacy and prenatal anxiety (a*b = -0.198, BCa 95% CI: -0.270, -0.126). CONCLUSIONS Self-efficacy was a negative predictor of prenatal anxiety for pregnant women. Moreover, resilience played a mediating role on the association between self-efficacy and prenatal anxiety among pregnant women in nationwide China. This study suggested that pregnant women might benefit from interventions to relieve prenatal anxiety through improved self-efficacy and the mediating path of resilience.
