NFC mobile credit card: The next frontier of mobile payment?

With the advancement of mobile devices and the emergence of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, payment today is a mere wave-of-the-phone. However, the adoption of mobile credit card (MCC) is still not widespread despite its potential as documented. Premised on this, the study extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with four additional constructs. The moderating effect of gender was also examined. Data collected from 156 respondents were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and multi group analysis. Cohen’s f-square statistic for effect size is 0.815. The results revealed that only finance-related risks and the moderating effect of gender are the non-significant factors in this study. The research provides useful theoretical and managerial implications for mobile phone manufacturers, merchants, bank decision makers, software developers, governments and private practitioners when devising their marketing campaigns and business strategies. The study also extends the applicability of TAM in the area of MCC from the perspective of an emerging market.

Participatory or deliberative democracy? Exploring the mediation effects of perceived online deliberation and online interactive activities on social outcomes

Using the structural equation modeling method (N = 811), this study explores the structural relationships among online news consumption, political participation and social trust, with a focus on the mediating effects of online users’ deliberative perceptions and news-related online interactive activities. The analysis confirms that users’ perceptions of online deliberation exert a significant mediating effect on users’ levels of news consumption, political participation, and social trust. Users’ interactive civic messaging behaviors, on the other hand, solely enhance participatory intentions. The findings also show that the consumption of political news and the consumption of entertainment news have different effects on users’ perceptions of online deliberation, social trust, and political participation. Specifically, while political news has a direct and relatively strong influence on participation, entertainment news has a limited and indirect effect on participation. Online interactive activities are negatively associated with users’ perceived competency for online deliberation. Further implications of the study are also discussed.     

Factors influencing Internet users’ perceived credibility of news-related blogs in Taiwan

This study investigates factors influencing Internet users’ perceived credibility of news-related blogs in Taiwan. First, this paper identifies Taiwanese Internet users’ beliefs about news-related blog credibility. Secondly, it examines whether these belief factors can predict their perceived credibility of news-related blogs. Thirdly, it explores whether Internet users’ individual characteristics, Internet use motivations, Internet use behavior, and innovative characteristics can predict their perceived credibility of news-related blogs.     

Ubiquitous use of mobile social network services

Smartphones are becoming increasingly penetrated among people. Social networking is one of the most popular applications that are being widely used through smartphones. The current research aims to understand Chinese users’ behaviour and identifies factors that impact intentions toward the usage of the social network services via handheld devices. By making use of Structural Equation Modelling technique based on a sample of 297 respondents, the research findings show that, technology acceptance model and its variants can only be used as an instrument to understand users’ adoption behaviour. The research findings reveal that mobility in concert with perceived ease of use, use context, and critical mass in concert with social influence impact users’ behavioural intention and usage significantly. Moreover, habitual behaviour of users plays a particularly important role toward the use of mobile social network services.     

Factors influencing users’ employment of mobile map services

This study introduces an integrated research model to examine user acceptance of mobile map services, hypothesizing potential causal connections between key cognitive factors and users’ intention to use the services. This study determined potential variables that may be significantly related to perceived usefulness of mobile map services through in-depth interviews with two groups: a user and an expert group. Collected data of 1109 users who took part in the internet survey were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that satisfaction with and perceived usefulness of the mobile map services were the most significant antecedents of users’ attitude toward the services and behavioral intention to use them. Users’ attitude and flow state also affected their intention to use the services, while perceived locational accuracy, service, and display quality had notable effects on attitude. This study demonstrates the significant effects of these and other examined factors, and the findings reveal that flow played a multiple moderating roles significantly affecting various connections in the integrated research model. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.     

Exploring a heterogeneous and fragmented digital ecosystem: Mobile content

This paper presents the mobile content domain as a heterogeneous and fragmented digital ecosystem. Several taxonomies are considered to distinguish between the different segments that compose the mobile content sector. Although they are useful to acknowledge a first level of fragmentation, the most usual classifications are just translations of other industries into the mobile domain and fail to gauge the attributes of mobile content that can drive its evolution. For this reason, an additional taxonomy is introduced which classifies mobile content as ‘adapted’, ‘re-purposed’, ‘specific’, and ‘augmented’. Heterogeneity in the mobile content domain is considered to derive from several main sources which are explored in the paper: players’ different origins and cultures, the production-delivery-consumption structure of content businesses, the diversity of content suitable for mobile usage and the diversity of circumstances for this usage. Finally, some conclusions are introduced, summarized in the idea that the concepts presented offer a better foundation to search for the drivers and barriers related to market and social acceptance of mobile content. Its main consequence, in the authors’ view, is that mobile content success will require a very segmented approach to its users’ characteristics and circumstances and a continuous process of interaction and learning.     

Learning Political Information From the News: A Closer Look at the Role of Motivation

This paper investigates how motivations that drive news use affect the process of learning political information from the news. A model that traces the influence of motivational factors on following news about general public affairs is proposed. Tests conducted with nationally representative surveys revealed that motivations for following general public affairs in the news are conceptually and empirically distinct. Results showed that certain psychological needs drive motivations toward following general news, and that various types of motives have independent effects on exposure and attention to news. Finally, we found that motivations have significant indirect effects on knowledge about politics. Implications on theoretical developments in political knowledge and learning are discussed.     

Motivations for using the mobile phone for mass communications and entertainment

This study draws on the uses and gratifications framework to examine expanded use of a hybrid medium—the mobile phone—for mass communications and entertainment. Results of a telephone survey of 208 users show different motivations predict diverse uses of the mobile phone. Instrumental use motives drive the use of the mobile phone for news-seeking and Web-surfing. Further, the motive of pass time is significantly linked to playing video games via the mobile phone. In addition, the high-tech mobile phone enabled users to be more active: the more intensively people use mobile phones for voice calls, the more likely they will be to use mobile data services. Thus, the hybrid mobile phone bridges interpersonal and mass communication. Finally, younger users are more likely to use mobile phones for getting news and entertainment. Implications for the industry and recommendations for future research are discussed.     

What Is Second Screening? Exploring Motivations of Second Screen Use and Its Effect on Online Political Participation

This study focuses on second screening for news, a hybrid media process that combines watching news on television and a second, web‐connected screen (i.e., smart‐phone, laptop). Based on U.S.‐national, 2‐wave panel data, the paper (a) examines people's motivations to engage in second screen use, and then (b) advances the relationship between second screening and online political behaviors. Discussing and pursuing further information are both central motivations for second screen use. Furthermore, results suggest second screening for news is a significant predictor of online political participation and a key link between TV news and political engagement as this relationship is fully mediated. The study advances theoretically and empirically ways in which an informed public opinion may partake of a more engaged democracy.     

Who finds value in news comment communities? An analysis of the influence of individual user,perceived news site quality,and site type factors

User commenting forums are a ubiquitous interactive feature offered by news organizations. Despite their popularity, research has generally failed to investigate extent to which news readers themselves find any redeeming value in news comment communities and, therein, the factors that serve as antecedents to such value perceptions. In light of this gap in the literature, this study set out to determine the factors associated with news community value. Using a sample of over 500 news consumers, we explored the impact of individual user, site quality, and site type factors. The results suggested that perceived news community value was highest among those with high levels of self-efficacy and those who use the Internet for civic purposes. The data indicated also that value perceptions were highest for those news sites that were understood to be interactive and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, perceived news community value was highest on sites that were both non-traditional and non-partisan in nature.
