Research on the effects of field dependence on learning output and
outcome, and the following consumer behavior, has mainly been conducted
in the context of physical environment of learning. Little research has
been conducted in the context of virtual environment. Using customers
who have learned language online within one year before this study as
subjects, this study investigates the relationship between field dependence
and repurchase intention, and the moderating effect of satisfaction
on the above relationship. An online questionnaire was distributed to
users of Facebook and Google communities by convenience sampling
method. A total of 221 valid responses are collected. The results show
that field dependence is positively and significantly related to repurchase
intention, and satisfaction is a partial mediator of the relationship between
field dependence and repurchase intention. All of the hypotheses are
supported. The managerial and theoretical implications of the results are
discussed.
