ABSTRACT
Intentions of continued technology use are often viewed as a stable construct assuming little-to-no variance across temporal distance. However, psychological research and declining social network memberships suggest this assumption may not be correct. We use latent-curve modeling to examine near- versus distant-future intentions to use information communication technologies. Our findings suggest that continued-use models that include the psychological construct of temporal distance fit the model better than those that assume a simpler view of time.

2 In other words, Hypothesis 4 is a traditional null hypothesis.
3 Jöreskog and Sörbom (2001b) use minimum fit function χ2 values, so the χ2 estimate for H1 differs from the normal theory weighted least squares χ2 values for Model E (see ).
