However, consumer resistance remains a significant barrier to widespread adoption despite its potential benefits. While prior studies have emphasized technical and ethical considerations, less focus has been placed on consumer resistance. This research fills that gap by employing the innovation resistance theory to explore the key factors driving resistance to digital resurrection technology. Specifically, we explore the role of functional, psychological, and social barriers on consumer resistance and examine the moderating roles of informational familiarity and intimacy with the deceased. Using stepwise hierarchical regression analyses on 319 survey responses, our results indicate that value, risk, tradition, image barriers, and social norms are significant drivers of consumer resistance. Moreover, informational familiarity reduces the impact of value barriers on resistance, while intimacy with the deceased reduces the impact of tradition barriers on resistance. This study extends innovation resistance theory to digital resurrection and incorporates social norms, providing deeper insights into the mechanisms of consumer resistance. The findings offer practical implications for technology developers and marketers to better understand and mitigate the barriers to adopting digital resurrection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102302"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144291272","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}

In this preregistered study, 88 TikTok users participated in a two-week within-subjects design: a baseline week (default highly personalized feed), followed by an experimental week (less personalized feed). Daily experiences were assessed through daily surveys, and objective TikTok usage data was obtained through screenshots. We found that both daily frequency and duration of TikTok use decreased, self-regulation increased, and participants derived less enjoyment from their use. These findings highlight the critical role of algorithmic personalization in sustaining user engagement and suggest that reducing feed personalization may be a promising, though currently limited, approach to address uncontrolled social media use.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102300"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144263159","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 address this gap, the current study, grounded in affordance theory, explored how perceived affordances of GAI influenced user risk perceptions across six dimensions: information, security, technical, social, ethical, and legal. A hierarchical regression analysis was conducted on a survey of 1,031 GAI users to examine the impact of interactivity, agency, and security affordances on these risk dimensions. The results indicate that higher perceptions of affordances such as bandwidth, synchrony, and transparency are significantly associated with lower risk perceptions across all dimensions. Notably, women reported higher perceived risks than men in most categories, whereas age and GAI usage experience did not significantly affect these perceptions. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing user control, transparency, and privacy protections in GAI system design to effectively mitigate perceived risks. This study contributes to the literature by providing a multidimensional analysis of risk perception in the context of GAI, offering practical insights for the development of inclusive, transparent, and user-centered artificial intelligence systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48257,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102299"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144221409","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}

An experiment (<em>N</em> = 1890) revealed that sponsorship reduced warranting value, but self-disclosure by the endorser restored some credibility by enhancing perceptions of the endorser’s other-interest. Negative comments from others diminished the post’s warranting value by reducing compassion toward the endorser.
