However, few studies have examined how ambivalent experiences can influence students' learning behaviors, specifically cyberslacking and active participation. Using the challenge-hindrance stressor framework, this study investigates the impact of challenge and hindrance appraisals on these learning behaviors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study uses a mixed methods approach to answer research questions. An interview was conducted to identify the key components of ambivalent appraisals, and a survey was conducted to empirically examine the impact of challenge and hindrance appraisals on learners' behaviors in online live streaming learning (OLSL) contexts. The data of 675 university students were analyzed using structural equation modeling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study found that hindrance appraisal leads to cyberslacking while challenge appraisal leads to active participation, but it can also cause cyberslacking. Social presence has a double-edged effect, acting as both a facilitator and inhibitor, strengthening the effect of hindrance appraisal on cyberslacking and the impact of challenge appraisal on active participation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>Prior studies have primarily focused on the negative side (techno-distress) of technology appraisals. This study simultaneously examines the positive side, techno-eustress, on learners' behaviors in OLSL contexts, and explores the moderating effects of social presence. This study contributes to the technostress and technology adaptation literature by revealing how technology-induced ambivalent appraisals impact behavioral responses. It offers important theoretical and practical implications for education tool designers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/itp-03-2023-0246","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]],"date-time":"2023-12-04T08:14:15Z","timestamp":1701677655000},"page":"851-874","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Unpacking dual effects of ambivalence toward technologies in online live streaming learning"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6772-7402","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shixuan","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2592-9409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianhua Jordan","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Huimin","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3236-9972","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoxiao","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2025031312455044500_ref001","article-title":"Do social features help in video-centric online learning platforms?
