However, sustaining purchasing behavior remains a persistent challenge. Based on affordance actualization theory, the study examines how the actualization of MOBA game affordances relates to player's in-game purchase intention through continuance and affective commitments, and how gaming motivation moderates these relationships. Game affordances are classified into instrumental affordances (fairness and competition), hedonic affordances (novelty and design aesthetics), and social affordances (socializing and self-expression). Survey data were collected from 585 players and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that the actualization of social, fairness, and novelty affordances is positively connected with continuance and affective commitment. In contrast, the actualization of competition affordance is negatively connected with continuance commitment, while actualizing design aesthetic affordance positively relates to affective commitment. Continuance and affective commitments are positively connected with purchase intention. Moreover, gaming motivation serves as a modest boundary condition, where intrinsic motivation augments the pathway between affective commitment and purchase intention, while extrinsic motivation intensifies the pathway between continuance commitment and purchase intention. The study extends affordance actualization theory by clarifying how game affordance actualization translates into in-game purchase intention. It also contributes to commitment and motivation research by highlighting the differentiated roles of continuance and affective commitments and identifying gaming motivations as important boundary conditions. The findings offer practical implications for designing game features and monetization strategies that foster sustainable consumption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 102453"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148854778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although hallucinations have been widely examined from a technical perspective, with limited attention to how users recognize and manage hallucinated outputs in practice, this is essential for advancing theories of human-AI interaction. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how users perceive and respond to hallucinations in generative AI systems through semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. Drawing on folk theories, expectancy violation theory, and attribution theory, this study develops a recognition-attribution-response (RAR) framework that conceptualizes hallucination management as a dynamic sensemaking process under uncertainty. The findings reveal that hallucination recognition is a three-stage cognitive progression, including suspicion, verification, and confirmation, which is governed by the decision gate, where users weigh task stakes against cognitive costs. Furthermore, this study identifies that these recognition patterns are orchestrated by internalized folk theories, which calibrate the user's sensitivity to anomalies and dictate their subsequent attributional logic. Following hallucination confirmation, users deploy diverse coping strategies ranging from corrective, defensive, and resilient adaptation strategies, reflecting a recursive feedback loop of trust calibration and appropriate reliance. Finally, this study contributes a process-oriented explanation of user-driven hallucination management and offers actionable design interventions for enhancing human-AI collaborative resilience in the generative AI era.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 102434"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148569456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To begin filling this gap in efficacy testing, this paper describes the results of three between-subjects studies (<em>n</em> = 2981) that test the impact of content warning labels on people who already have extreme, radical, or misinformed views. Together, these studies provide some evidence that content labels are less effective at decreasing trust in false information for people who already have radical or misinformed views, but this result is strongly dependent on the information being intervened with. That is, content labels were more effective when they reinforced ideological positions or had no connection to prior opinions, and content labels were less effective when they undermined ideological positions or closely held misinformed viewpoints. These results reflect the well-studied theories of confirmation bias and motivated reasoning. Further, these results imply that content interventions should be studied in communities where misinformation is most frequently consumed rather than the broader population of typical news consumers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 102433"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148569455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To empirically test the model, we surveyed 393 U.S. college students and analyzed the data using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that competitive conformity—the fear of falling behind peers—is a strong predictor of AI dependence, alongside efficiency and quality expectancies. AI dependence predicts two psychological states that affect continuance intention in opposing directions: noAIphobia is positively associated with continued use as students seek to avoid AI deprivation anxiety, whereas AI use stigma is negatively associated with continued use due to fear of negative social judgment. Academic integrity concerns further amplify the dependence–stigma relationship. These findings reveal the psychological tensions students experience when using AI and underscore the need for clear institutional policies to mitigate psychological distress and promote healthy AI engagement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 102436"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148569458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a discrete choice experiment, we systematically examine consumer preferences for key attributes, including price, response accuracy, response speed, maximum response length, content type, and lexical comprehension level. The results reveal that response accuracy is the most important factor, followed by price, language comprehension, and content type. Particularly, users demonstrate a significantly higher willingness to pay for image-generation functions than for text-generation ones. Simulation outcomes further indicate that depending on pricing and functionality strategies, on-device models have the distinct potential to compete with cloud-based models.
