“…Thus, we considered intention to purchase as an inappropriate dependent variable for households that already owned household technologies. Although some technology acceptance research has employed intention as a dependent variable, even in cases where the behavior is well rehearsed (Bhattacherjee, 2001a;Djamasbi et al, 2010;Lee, 2009;Luo et al, 2011;Pavlou & Fygenson, 2006;Thompson, Higgins, & Howell, 1991), much research in psychology (Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000;Gollwitzer & Sheeran, 2006;Ouellette & Wood, 1998;Sheeran, 2002) and technology acceptance (Ortiz de Guinea & Markus, 2009;Palvia, Pinjani, Cannoy, & Jacks, 2011) has demonstrated that intentions are typically important only in the context of new behaviors and are not predictive for well-rehearsed, routinized behaviors. Therefore, we employ use behavior as the dependent variable for those that have already adopted a particular household technology.…”
