| contents | This study examines users' behavioural intention to use OpenClaw through the Cognition--Affect--Conation (CAC) framework. The research investigates how cognitive perceptions of the system influence affective responses and subsequently shape behavioural intention. Enabling factors include perceived personalisation, perceived intelligence, and relative advantage, while inhibiting factors include privacy concern, algorithmic opacity, and perceived risk. Survey data from 436 OpenClaw users were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results show that positive perceptions strengthen users' attitudes toward OpenClaw, which increase behavioural intention, whereas negative perceptions increase distrust and reduce intention to use the system. The study provides insights into the psychological mechanisms influencing the adoption of autonomous AI agents. |
