sured that the data included to examine the interaction terms with experience didnot include any potential
for systematic correlated errors. Using 50 such random subsamples, the model was tested and theresults
derived supported the pattern observed when the entire data set was pooled across experience.

Taken together, the analyses reported above support the pooling of data (see Table 17) across levels of
experience and eliminate the potential statistical concerns noted by West and Hepworth in the analysis of
temporal data.

Appendix B

Statistical Tests Prior to Pooling of Data for

Cross-Validation of UTAUT (Studies 3 and 4) ••••••••

As with the test of the preliminary model, prior to pooling the data for the cross-validation studies (studies
3 and 4 ), we conducted statistical tests to examine the independence of observations (as detailed in
Appendix A). The table below presents the error term correlation matrices for intention for studies 3
(voluntary) and 4 (mandatory) as well as pooled across both settings at T1, T2, and T3 respectively.

As in the preliminary test of UTAUT, the error correlation matrices above suggest that there is no constraint
to pooling in the cross-validation study of the model. As before, a between-subjects test of the within-
subjects data was tested using PLS (as describedin Appendix A), and the results of that test corroborated
the independence of observations in this sample. In light of both sets of results, we proceeded with the
pooled analysis as reported in the body of the paper (see Table 21 ).
