perspective, this inconsistency reflects the interaction between these two concepts, which will be
discussed in the next section.
In a different study investigating the effect of perceived affective quality (PAQ), Zhang and Li
find that perceived affective quality of a university Web site does not have a direct impact on behav-
ior intention of using the Web site (Zhang and Li, 2005), which is different from that in Zhang and
Li (2004). One possible reason for the difference is the voluntariness of IT use: Participants were
required to use the course management system in the study where PAQ has a direct impact on BI
(Zhang and Li, 2004).
As for the cognitive reaction variables, much prior IS research has already confirmed a strong
influence of cognitive reaction variables on behavioral intention or actual usage behavior. In
another words, proposition 2-2 is supported by the literature. In this study, we haven't discussed
these relationships in detail because it is not the focus of this research. (For more details, please
refer to Sun and Zhang [2006]).
