ISRI - Information Systems Research Indicators

Construct: Cognitive Absorption (Temporal Dissociation)

Description
Indicators

Note 1: Following are presented the definitions found for the construct in the used references, together with the theory/model.
Note 2: The same construct can be present in more than one theory/model.
Note 3: If the construct was not proposed in the original theory/model, it is identified as "Additional to theory/model".

Definition: The ability to register the passage of time while engaged in interaction.

Theory/model: Additional to TAM
Reference: (Barki, Paré, & Sicotte, 2008)

Definition: The state of inability to register the passage of time while engaged in the interaction.

Theory/model: Additional to SCT
Reference: (Chandra, Srivastava, & Theng, 2012)

Note 1: This list contains all the indicators (measuring variables) as defined by the authors when proposing/using/applying a theory/model in a context. It also includes the scales used to measure the variables.
Note 2: Some of the indicators are context-dependent.
Note 3: The same construct can be present in more than one theory/model.

Indicator	Scale	Context	Theory/Model	Reference(s)
I feel time appears to go by very quickly when I am using the virtual world.	Likert 1-7	Virtual Worlds (VWs)	SCT	(Chandra, Srivastava, & Theng, 2012)

I feel sometimes I lose track of time when I am using the virtual world.	Likert 1-7	Virtual Worlds (VWs)	SCT	(Chandra, Srivastava, & Theng, 2012)

I feel time flies when I am using the virtual world.	Likert 1-7	Virtual Worlds (VWs)	SCT	(Chandra, Srivastava, & Theng, 2012)

Most times when I get on to the virtual world, I end up spending more time that I had planned.	Likert 1-7	Virtual Worlds (VWs)	SCT	(Chandra, Srivastava, & Theng, 2012)

I often spend more time on the virtual world than I had intended.	Likert 1-7	Virtual Worlds (VWs)	SCT	(Chandra, Srivastava, & Theng, 2012)

Time passes very quickly when I use the new system.	Likert 0-10, Not at all to a Lot	Computer Physician Order Entry (CPOE) System	TAM	(Barki, Paré, & Sicotte, 2008)

At times I am not aware of the passage of time when I use the new system.	Likert 0-10, Not at all to a Lot	Computer Physician Order Entry (CPOE) System	TAM	(Barki, Paré, & Sicotte, 2008)

Frequently I end up spending more time using the new system than initially planned.	Likert 0-10, Not at all to a Lot	Computer Physician Order Entry (CPOE) System	TAM	(Barki, Paré, & Sicotte, 2008)
