Abstract
Users aren't always rational logical beings---emotion plays an often overlooked role in user acceptance of technology.

Regression analyses suggest that perceived ease of use may actually be a causal antecdent to perceived usefulness, as opposed to a parallel, direct determinant of system usage.
Information Systems ResearchDeterminants of Perceived Ease of Use: Integrating Control, Intrinsic Motivation, and Emotion into the Technology Acceptance Model
6,408 Citations2000Viswanath Venkatesh
This work presents and tests an anchoring and adjustment-based theoretical model of the determinants of system-specific perceived ease of use, and proposes control, intrinsic motivation, and emotion as anchors that determine early perceptions about the ease ofuse of a new system.

At the heart of emotion, mood, and any other emotionally charged event are states experienced as simply feeling good or bad, energized or enervated, which influence reflexes, perception, cognition, and behavior.
Information & ManagementFactors influencing the usage of websites: the case of a generic portal in The Netherlands
1,399 Citations2003Hans van der Heijden
An extension of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explain the individual acceptance and usage of websites is empirically investigated and a new construct, "perceived visual attractiveness" of the website is introduced and demonstrates that it influences usefulness, enjoyment, and ease-of-use.

The results resemble those found by social psychologists regarding the effect of physical attractiveness on the valuation of other personality attributes and stress the importance of studying the aesthetic aspect of human–computer interaction (HCI) design and its relationships to other design dimensions.
International Journal of Human-Computer StudiesAssessing dimensions of perceived visual aesthetics of web sites
1,312 Citations2003Talia Lavie, Noam Tractinsky
Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, it is found that users' perceptions consist of two main dimensions, which are termed "classical aesthetics" and "expressive aesthetics", which are closely related to many of the design rules advocated by usability experts.
International Journal of Human-Computer StudiesPredicting the use of web-based information systems: self-efficacy, enjoyment, learning goal orientation, and the technology acceptance model
1,289 Citations2003Mun Yong Yi, Yujong Hwang
The proposed model extends the technology acceptance model by incorporating the motivation variables of self-efficacy, enjoyment, and learning goal orientation in order to predict the use of Web-based information systems.
