Dispositional Factors in Internet Use: Personality Versus Cognitive Style
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study directly tests the effect of personality and cognitive style on three measures of Internet use. The results support the use of personality—but not cognitive style—as an antecedent variable.

Including cognitive style does not. The results are discussed in terms of the role of personality and cognitive style in models of technology adoption and use.
