COGNITIVE ABSORPTION AND THE ADOPTION OF NEW INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES.
Abstract
A new construct called cognitive absorption is proposed as a critical concept in the study of individual attitudes and behaviors toward information technologies. Cognitive absorption includes three dimensions: perceived ease of use, flow, and computer playfulness. Antecedents to cognitive absorption are specified. Empirical results from two studies confirm the hypothesized relationships.

“Theory of Cognitive Absorption (Agarwal et al., 1997) Individuals in the flow state, called cognitive absorption, suppress processes that call someone’s attention to feelings of cognitive dissonance, leading to inappropriate privacy calculation.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
