TL;DR
Using the theory of planned behavior as the theoretical base, data collected through a semi‐annual survey of Web users were used to determine if beliefs about privacy and Internet trustworthiness helped determine attitudes towards the Internet.
Abstract
Using the theory of planned behavior as the theoretical base, data collected through a semi‐annual survey of Web users were used to determine if beliefs about privacy and Internet trustworthiness helped determine attitudes towards the Internet, which were thought to affect intent to make Internet purchases. Intent, in turn, was thought to affect actual purchasing behavior. Taking Internet experience into account, general support for the model was found.

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.

Psychological ReviewSelf-efficacy: Toward a unifying theory of behavioral change.
35,454 Citations1977Albert Bandura
An integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment is presented and findings are reported from microanalyses of enactive, vicarious, and emotive mode of treatment that support the hypothesized relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral changes.

From Intentions to Actions: A Theory of Planned Behavior
17,887 Citations1985Icek Ajzen
There appears to be general agreement among social psychologists that most human behavior is goal-directed (e. g., Heider, 1958 ; Lewin, 1951), and human social behavior can best be described as following along lines of more or less well-formulated plans.
Information Systems ResearchUnderstanding Information Technology Usage: A Test of Competing Models
8,729 Citations1995Shirley Taylor, Peter Todd
The results indicate that the decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior provides a fuller understanding of behavioral intention by focusing on the factors that are likely to influence systems use through the application of both design and implementation strategies.
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.

The results show that social norms and three components of expected consequences have a strong influence on utilization, confirming the importance of the expected consequences of using PC technology and suggesting that training programs and organizational policies could be instituted to enhance or modify these expectations.

MIS QuarterlyAssessing IT Usage: The Role of Prior Experience
2,889 Citations1995Shirley Taylor, Peter Todd
A variety of models that incorporate attitudinal, social, and control factor have been advanced to explain IT usage, but it is unclear whether models such as TAM are predictive of behavior for inexperienced users and whether the determinants of IT usage are the same for experienced and inexperienced users of a system.

2,869 Citations1996Viswanath Venkatesh, Fred D. Davis
Data from three experiments supported the hypothesis that an individual's perception of a particular system's ease of use is anchored to her or his general computer self-efficacy at all times, and objective usability has an impact on ease-of- use perceptions about a specific system only after direct experience with the system.

Research reveals that the reason more people have yet to shop online or even provide information to Web providers in exchange for access to information, is the fundamental lack of faith between most businesses and consumers on the Web today.
Management ScienceEmpirical Evaluation of the Revised Technology Acceptance Model
1,659 Citations1996Bernadette Szajna
A confirmatory, empirical test of the revised Technology Acceptance Model TAM confirmed that the TAM is a valuable tool for predicting intentions to use an IS and introduced and objective measure of technology acceptance, actual usage rather than self-report usage, which supports that self- report usage may not be an appropriate surrogate measure for actual usage.

Self-efficacy exerted a strong influence on performance in both models, and behavior modeling was found to be more effective than the traditional method for training in Lotus 1-2-3, resulting in higher self- efficacy and higher performance.
