Meanwhile, information credibility and perceived usefulness are the antecedents of information adoption. Additionally, information credibility positively influences perceived usefulness. In particular, it can be concluded that in the context of stock investment virtual communities, medium credibility can influence information adoption through information credibility and perceived usefulness.
