“…On the contradictory, those who think that they know a lot, even if what they know is not accurate, will not be receptive to any information. 88,89 These findings have practical relevance toward intended behavioral compliance in an environment that goes through structural changes, and the implementation of future practices in a specific coaching context.…”

“…Finally, it is worth noting that subjective knowledge levels could differ across various water-based activities and ability groups (e.g., elite athletes versus beginners). Thus, future studies can consider including various moderating variables and investigate how subjective knowledge is related to various factors, including participants’ risk perceptions 98 and attitudes 88 toward open water safety.…”

Subjective knowledge is a significant factor influencing individuals’ behaviors. It plays a critical role in preventing people from tragic event during open water activities (OWAs). However, a measurement scale for subjective knowledge in OWAs has not been developed and comprehensively investigated in the field of maritime and coaching studies. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate a subjective knowledge scale in OWAs (SKS-OWA) to better understand participants’ safety perceptions. We collected data from individuals who participated in OWAs within three years in Singapore. This study conducted the pilot study ( n = 260) and the main study ( n = 453) and employed a rigorous scale development procedure to assess the psychometric properties of the SKS-OWA. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of subjective knowledge in OWAs, and the SKS-OWA can be used to help coaches and practitioners to plan their training programs, increase public awareness, and reduce the rates of deaths from drowning.

“…In this sense, it is expected that users with higher levels of personal innovation (Jeong et al, 2009) Earlier technology adoption studies have suggested that the user's previous experience plays an important role in technology acceptance, as the more experience (s)he has, the more likely (s)he will be to have relevant knowledge, skills, and confidence, and the less likely (s)he will be to feel anxiety when interacting with technologies (Fernandes & Oliveira, 2021). The previous knowledge that consumers possess of technologies influences their behaviors, as it conditions their perceptions of the information they will need to perform specific actions (Acikgoz et al, 2022) and, therefore, the resources and capabilities they will require. Consequently, a lack of relevant experience and knowledge creates major barriers to the adoption of new technologies (Slade et al, 2015).…”

“…and more experience of new technologies(Liébana- Cabanillas et al, 2014) will have a more positive perception of the technologies and greater continuance intention to use them and, a posteriori, will recommend and use them more than other users(Jianlin & Qi, 2010).Personal innovativeness is a personality trait that reflects the degree to which an individual is open to experimenting with new technologies(Slade et al, 2015). Innovators are individuals open to trying new technologies, who want to absorb information and to search for new trends, who perceive less risk in using technologies, and who feel a greater sense of control and self-confidence over their actions(Acikgoz et al, 2022). Empirical studies have demonstrated the influence of personal innovativeness on consumer perceived value and intention to use new technologies, such as e-commerce(Jackson et al, 2013), mobile payment systems, and biometric payment systems(Liébana-Cabanillas et al, 2022).…”

Voice assistants (VAs), such as Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, are instruments increasingly used by consumers to perform daily tasks. The objectives of the present study are to examine the antecedents of consumers' continuance intention to use VAs and the moderating effects of personal innovativeness and experience. Based on behavioral reasoning theory, a research model is proposed to provide insights into the drivers of continuance intention to use. Two empirical studies, based on data collected via online surveys, were conducted. The model was analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings of the studies showed that emotional value and performance expectancy were key antecedents of continuance intention to use, which in turn positively influenced actual use and word‐of‐mouth intention. In contrast, the quality value was a significant antecedent of continuance intention to use in only one of the two studies, and the influence of price value, social value, effort expectancy, and privacy risk was not found to be significant. However, the second study showed that several of these relationships are moderated by the consumer's experience and personal innovativeness; specifically, less innovative users are sensitive to quality value, and experienced users are sensitive to social value.

“…In order to analyze consumer perceptions and behavioral intentions in the field of marketing and business performance analysis, IPA, which evaluates the importance of a product or service that consumers think of and how satisfied they are, is used [ 8 ]. As reported [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], it refers to the importance of products or services according to consumers and measures how satisfied they are [ 12 , 13 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the fitness-related field. More people started working out at home, and the use of fitness mobile apps that can measure the amount of exercise through a scientific method has increased compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic. This phenomenon is likely to continue even after the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore this study aimed to investigate the importance of and satisfaction with a fitness app’s functions according to consumers while using the fitness mobile app. Through this study, we intended to provide data for creating an environment where users can use fitness mobile apps consistently. A total of 420 questionnaires were distributed through Google Survey for about 3 months, from 13 September to 20 November 2020, and a total of 399 complete questionnaires were analyzed in this study. Regarding the data processing methods, frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, and IPA were used. The results are as follows. First, the first quadrant of the IPA matrix indicated the high importance of and satisfaction with the fitness mobile app, and included five attributes: cost-effectiveness, easy-to-understand information, ease of use and application, privacy protection, and compatibility with other devices. Second, the second quadrant of the matrix indicated relatively low satisfaction in association to high importance and included five attributes: accurate exercise information provision, design efficiency, daily exercise amount setting, convenient icons and interface, and provision of images and videos in appropriate proportions. Third, the third quadrant of the matrix, indicating low importance and low satisfaction, included five attributes: not sharing personal information, overall design composition and color, customer service, reliable security level, and providing information on goal achievement after exercising. Fourth, in the quadrant of the matrix, indicating low importance and high satisfaction, five attributes were included: exercise notification function, continuous service provision, step count and heart rate information, individual exercise recommendation, and individual body type analysis information.
