Lost In Translation: Emotion And Expression Through Technology, Shaylyn Joy
Honors Scholar Theses
My Thesis study was designed to bring to topic certain issues involved with CMC (computer-mediated communication.)

From a laboratory experiment using microbiology laboratory assistants, the notion that healthcare users’ attitude is an important factor in the acceptance behavior of a healthcare information system is supported. A regression analysis of the data revealed the need to tailor the IS Technology Acceptance Model for the healthcare field. Specifically, our results show that ease of use which is thought to be a main antecedent of end-user …
