This book provides practical guidance for using a statistical tool known as moderated multiple regression (MMR) to assess whether the relationship between two quantitative variables is moderated by group membership.

Assuming only a basic knowledge of inferential statistics on the part of the reader, this is an essential hands-on guide for students, researchers, and practitioners. Together with its associated computer programs and data sets (available on the Web), the book will also serve as an invaluable supplemental text in advanced undergraduate statistics and methods courses and in graduate courses addressing the general linear model.

A meta-analysis of the technology acceptance model: Investigating subjective norm and moderation effects [An article from: Information & Management]
This digital document is a journal article from Information & Management, published by Elsevier in 2007. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
We conducted a quantitative meta-analysis of previous research on the technology acceptance model (TAM) in an attempt to make well-grounded statements on the role of subjective norm. Furthermore, we compared TAM results by taking into account moderating effects of one individual-related factor (type of respondents), one technology-related factor (type of technology), and one contingent factor (culture). Results indicated a significant influence of subjective norm on perceived usefulness and behavioral intention to use. Moderating effects were found for all three factors. The findings yielded managerial implications for both intra-company and market-based settings. .
