Abstract
The advancement of technology has made content sharing through media information technology a new research focus. Based on the UTAUT-2 model and the heuristic-systematic model, and focusing on popular science short videos, this study examines the factors influencing the willingness and behavior of users to adopt popular science short videos, considering both content and technology aspects. Through the analysis of 1034 valid survey responses, it was found that the habit of using short videos has a positive impact on the willingness and behavior of users to adopt popular science short videos. The influence of entertainment motivation on user adoption intent is greater than the expectation of acquiring popular science knowledge. This provides new insights for the dissemination of in-depth content on new media platforms.
