The Role of Instrumental, Hedonic and Ssymbolic Attributes in the Intention to Adopt Electric Vehicles
TLDR
In this article, the authors study how private car drivers' perception of vehicle attributes may affect their intention to adopt electric vehicles (EVs) and find that people who believe that a proenvironmental self-identity fits with their self-image are more likely to have positive perceptions of EV attributes.Abstract:
The aim is to understand how private car drivers’ perception of vehicle attributes may affect their intention to adopt electric vehicles (EVs). Data are obtained from a national online survey of potential EV adopters in the UK. The results indicate that instrumental attributes are important largely because they are associated with other attributes derived from owning and using EVs, including pleasure of driving (hedonic attributes) and identity derived from owning and using EVs (symbolic attributes). People who believe that a proenvironmental self-identity fits with their self-image are more likely to have positive perceptions of EV attributes. Perceptions of EV attributes are only very weakly associated with car-authority identity.read more

Advances in consumer electric vehicle adoption research: A review and research agenda
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive overview of the drivers for and barriers against consumer adoption of plug-in EVs, as well as an overview of theoretical perspectives that have been utilized for understanding consumer intentions and adoption behavior towards EVs, identifying gaps and limitations in existing research and suggest areas in which future research would be able to contribute.

Predicting consumers’ intention to adopt hybrid electric vehicles: using an extended version of the theory of planned behavior model
TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of 433 respondents has been collected in China to predict the customers' intention to adopt HEVs, using an extended model of the theory of planned behavior (TPB).

Incentives for promoting Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) adoption in Norway
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the role of incentives for promoting BEVs, and determine what incentives are critical for deciding to buy a BEV and what groups of buyers respond to different types of incentives.

Adoption of electric vehicle: A literature review and prospects for sustainability
Rajeev Ranjan Kumar,Kumar Alok +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrative review of 239 articles published across Scopus Q1 journals and compiled using an integrated review protocol is presented. But, the authors focus on relatively neglected topics such as dealership experience, charging infrastructure resilience, and marketing strategies as well as identify much-studied topics, such as charging infrastructure development, total cost of ownership, and purchase-based incentive policies.

Hey Alexa … examine the variables influencing the use of artificial intelligent in-home voice assistants
Graeme McLean,Kofi Osei-Frimpong +1 more
TL;DR: The findings illustrate that individuals are motivated by the utilitarian benefits, symbolic benefits and social benefits provided by voice assistants, and the results found that hedonic benefits only motivate the use of in-home voice assistants in smaller households.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.

Asymptotic and resampling strategies for assessing and comparing indirect effects in multiple mediator models
TL;DR: An overview of simple and multiple mediation is provided and three approaches that can be used to investigate indirect processes, as well as methods for contrasting two or more mediators within a single model are explored.

User Acceptance of Computer Technology: A Comparison of Two Theoretical Models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the ability to predict peoples' computer acceptance from a measure of their intentions, and explain their intentions in terms of their attitudes, subjective norms, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and related variables.

SPSS and SAS procedures for estimating indirect effects in simple mediation models.
TL;DR: It is argued the importance of directly testing the significance of indirect effects and provided SPSS and SAS macros that facilitate estimation of the indirect effect with a normal theory approach and a bootstrap approach to obtaining confidence intervals to enhance the frequency of formal mediation tests in the psychology literature.

Self-Concept in Consumer Behavior: A Critical Review
TL;DR: The self-concept literature in consumer behavior can be characterized as fragmented, incoherent, and highly diffuse as mentioned in this paper, and the authors of this paper critically review selfconcept theory and research in consumer behaviour and provide recommendations for future research.
