2. Divergers: Only the “Attitude” has significant influenced the intention of WBT usage, but “Perceived usefulness” and “Perceived ease of use” do not .
3. Assimilators: Both “Attitude” and “Perceived usefulness” have significant influenced the intention of WBT usage, and “Perceived ease of use” negative does .
4. Convergers: Both “Attitude” and “Perceived usefulness” have significant influenced the intention of WBT usage, but “Perceived ease of use” does not.
