Echoing the increasing availability of various kinds of wearable technologies in the marketplace, a growing body of literature has examined which factors are related to consumers’ adoption of wearable devices. While previous studies have applied several major theories to explain consumers’ adoption of wearable devices, some findings are inconsistent, and the understanding of the relationships between variables has been limited due to the lack of a comprehensive framework. By reviewing 36 empirical studies on adoption intention of wearable devices, we developed the comprehensive framework for adoption intention of wearable devices and conducted a meta-analysis in order to examine 24 pairwise relationships among 18 factors. The meta-analysis reveals that most of the key variables identified have significant effect sizes in their relations to attitude and adoption intention. Also, the moderation analysis shows that the effect sizes of relationships vary depending on the culture (i.e., Eastern culture versus Western culture). Together, the findings based on the comprehensive framework provide theoretical and practical implications for how consumers’ adoption of wearable devices can be facilitated.

影响消费者采用可穿戴技术的因素：系统回顾和荟萃分析

随着市场上各种可穿戴技术的日益普及，越来越多的文献研究了哪些因素与消费者对可穿戴设备的采用有关。虽然之前的研究已经应用了几个主要理论来解释消费者对可穿戴设备的采用，但一些研究结果并不一致，并且由于缺乏一个全面的框架，对变量之间关系的理解受到了限制。通过回顾 36 项关于可穿戴设备采用意愿的实证研究，我们开发了可穿戴设备采用意愿的综合框架，并进行了元分析，以检验 18 个因素之间的 24 个成对关系。荟萃分析表明，大多数确定的关键变量在与态度和采用意愿的关系中具有显着的影响大小。此外，适度分析表明，关系的影响大小因文化而异（即东方文化与西方文化）。总之，基于综合框架的研究结果为如何促进消费者采用可穿戴设备提供了理论和实践意义。
