The study focuses on the cultural effects of gender on the extended Elaboration Likelihood Model and purchasing decisions in e-commerce virtual communities. Study results show that involvement has the most significant effect on perceived eWOM credibility. Study results show that perceived eWOM credibility has a significant effect on eWOM acceptance and intent to purchase.
