Specific details of each test of the hypothesis follow.

Although hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed a moderately strong direct effect (r=.686, n = 338, p < .01) for performance expectancy on intent to use blog, the moderating effects of age and gender were not supported and were non significant at each step of the regression analysis. Therefore, H1 was rejected (Table 5). Table 5 HMR Results for Performance Expectancy R² DV – Intent R R² Change F Change df1 df2 Sig.
