The Internet is emerging as one of the most effective media to meet individual's need for communication activities such as internet chatting and group discussion. To understand online communication activities, the current study focuses on the impact of the technology acceptance model (TAM) and extends the TAM model to include the notion of a personal trait, online communication apprehension. The study results of the structural equation model analysis showed the significant impact of online communication apprehension as well as the importance of TAM understanding individual’s online communication activities such as chatting and group discussion. Thus, the current research insists that an individual's fear or anxiety associated with Netizen(s) in real or anticipated situation could be another significant factor to understand communication technology acceptance.

소개
올바른 민주주의 창달과 확산을 위해 정치커뮤니케이션 현상에 대한 체계적이고 사변적인 접근과 연구가 절실히 요구되고 있는 상황이다. 이에 한국정치커뮤니케이션학회를 창립하여 올바른 민주공동체의 길을 찾고자 노력한다. 본 학회는 이념적 편향성을 지양하고 학문적 이론과 더불어 정치적 실제에 대한 연구도 지향할 것이다.
