Purpose

User behavior in online information evaluation is the result of a multitude of factors related to social, cultural, personal and psychological issues. The present study aimed to examine the effects of three important psychological variables including personality, self-efficacy and attitude on online information evaluation.

Design/methodology/approach

Four validated measures were administrated in person and online among 355 postgraduate students at Shahed University, Tehran, Iran. For testing the possible relationships among the variables, the reliability, normality and Pearson correlation tests were performed by using SPSS 24.0. Moreover, to test the ten hypotheses of the research, the structural equation modeling was considered using AMOS 26.0.

Findings

The findings confirmed the first five research hypotheses indicating the direct positive relationships among the four variables except for the impact of self-efficacy on attitude. The mediated effects of the variables were not supported except for the mediating role of attitude in the impact of personality on online evaluation behavior. The variable personality was found to be fundamental among the tested paths because it influenced the information evaluation behavior, both directly and indirectly.

Originality/value

The study showed the impacts of the three variables, which demonstrates that online information evaluation is greatly affected by psychological factors.

网络信息的辩证评价:人格、自我效能和态度的作用

目的

用户在线信息评价行为是社会、文化、个人和心理问题等多种因素综合作用的结果。本研究旨在探讨人格、自我效能和态度三个重要心理变量对在线信息评估的影响。

设计/方法论/途径

伊朗德黑兰沙赫德大学的 355 名研究生现场和在线实施了四项经过验证的措施。为了检验变量之间可能的关系,使用SPSS 24.0进行信度、正态性和Pearson相关性检验。此外,为了检验研究的十个假设,考虑使用 AMOS 26.0 进行结构方程建模。

发现

研究结果证实了前五个研究假设,表明除了自我效能对态度的影响之外,四个变量之间存在直接的正相关关系。除了态度在人格对在线评价行为的影响中的中介作用外,不支持变量的中介效应。研究发现,可变人格是测试路径中的基础,因为它直接和间接地影响信息评估行为。

原创性/价值

研究显示了三个变量的影响,这表明在线信息评价受心理因素的影响很大。
