▼ Smartphone usage and the associated app market eco-system are expanding rapidly. Smartphone apps, usually developed by third parties, drive the innovation in the app market eco-system by coming up with various services that allow smartphone users to exploit the full functionalities of their smartphones and the modern internet. Apps can be either free or paid and the adoption of free apps is much greater than paid apps. Majority of the free apps and some of the paid apps collect users’ personal information for various purposes such as providing targeted advertisements, identifying the audience of the app, and monetising the personal information in a different domain. Collection of personal data from smartphones is far more critical than data collection from conventional devices such as desktop computers or laptops due to multiple reasons. First, the state-of-the-art smartphones are equipped with large number of sensors such as GPS, camera, microphone, accelerometer, and biometric modules that can provide rich information about the user of the smartphone. Second, smartphones currently act as a communications and scheduling hubs for the users by storing their SMS, MMS, emails, calendar entries, and contact lists etc. Third, smartphones contains rich information about user behaviour such as web browsing, web searching, app usage, call details and mobility information etc. As of now there is no convenient way for smartphone users to quantify what information has been shared with whom and most importantly even the user knows there are privacy risks there is nothing they can do for it. This thesis, first performs an empirical study on the level of tracking happening in smartphones and exposes various “inference attacks” the smartphones users are subject to, by mining various data collected by the smartphone apps. Second, it proposes mechanisms to detect various problematic apps in the app markets. Third, it introduces and evaluates a novel app recommendation system referred to as “PrivMetrics” that rates the apps according to the their personal information access and provide recommendations to the users on how to improve their privacy level.

▼ Pesquisas sobre a aprendizagem móvel na América latina e no mundo revelaram que esta é uma área ainda em desenvolvimento no campo educacional, especialmente no Brasil. Enquanto que na Europa já encontramos avanços nesta área, em Recife os celulares ainda permanecem banidos dos contextos educacionais. Em função disso, esta pesquisa objetivou mapear os usos dos smartphones para aprendizagem, por estudantes de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. A partir deste mapeamento pudemos analisar as estratégias de aprendizagem desses estudantes, em variados espaços e tempos, usos e ferramentas, configurando uma aprendizagem móvel centrada na cultura mobilidade no uso das redes sociais para a educação. Nos capítulos teóricos tratamos das relações entre os smartphones, as redes sociais e a educação. Além disso, conceituamos aprendizagem móvel e seus princípios básicos. A metodologia desta pesquisa se baseou no estudo de caso e desenvolveu-se através de um estudo piloto e um estudo final. O estudo piloto utilizou um questionário de apropriação tecnológica para mapeamento de uso e acesso dos alunos a dispositivos móveis e smartphones. No estudo final realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas, com o intuito de entender qual as estratégias que esses estudantes utilizavam com seus smartphones. Os resultados nos permitiram identificar as ações que esses estudantes utilizaram como estratégias de aprendizagem, enquanto alunos do Ensino Superior em seus smartphones. O uso das redes sociais para fins educativos para as ações de pesquisa acadêmica e troca de informações foram as mais encontradas entre os alunos. As ferramentas que o smartphone possuem facilitaram a leitura e materiais de aula, o registro e estudo posterior, desses aprendizes. O tempo e o espaço que os mesmos utilizaram para estas ações nos smartphones dizem muito sobre os novos espaços e tempos para aprender: não foram os espaços institucionais tradicionais. Dessa forma, concluímos que os smartphones, podem ajudar os estudantes a aprender, respeitando seu ritmo de aprendizagem. A mobilidade que os mesmos proporcionaram também foram essenciais para que os estudantes escolhessem qual as melhores hora e local para estudar e aprender. Assim, os smartphones puderam proporcionar aprendizagem móvel aos estudantes, de acordo com as necessidades de cada um. Advisors/Committee Members: Cavalcante, Patrícia Smith (advisor).

▼ The past few years have witnessed an explosive growth of smartphones. Smartphones have become the primary computing platform for users to check emails, browse webpages, watch videos, etc. Most of these applications rely on data access through wireless interfaces. However, if the wireless interfaces were not properly used, they would drain out the battery quickly. Therefore, it is an urgent call to study the power characteristics of wireless interfaces and reduce their energy consumption. The specific goal of this dissertation is to optimize the energy consumption of smartphones in wireless networks. Specifically, this dissertation has four foci. First, we design a traffic aggregation algorithm to reduce energy for the cellular networks. The cellular interface has to spend an extra amount of energy (called the tail energy) after each data transmission. Aggregating multiple tasks together helps to amortize the tail energy, but the aggregation opportunity is rare on a single user since tasks are sparse in general. To solve this problem, our solution is to do traffic aggregation on multiple users. We introduce a heuristic algorithm to search for the optimal aggregation schedule offline, and then design an efficient online algorithm, which can be deployed on smartphones directly. Second, we propose a quality-aware traffic offloading framework to save energy. In cellular networks, different cellular carriers generally provide different service quality (in terms of signal strength and throughput) in the same location. Based on this finding, we propose to offload the traffic to neighboring nodes with better service quality. This framework is implemented on Android platforms and supports the upper layer applications transparently. Third, we reduce the energy for mobile video streaming, which is the largest traffic on smartphones. Most video streaming solutions prefer to buffer lots of content and then turn the wireless interface off to save energy. However, if a user skips this solution may waste energy and bandwidth. In contrast, using a small buffer can reduce the bandwidth wastage, but may consume more energy as the wireless interface is frequency used. We propose a solution to detect the user skipping by listening to the screen touching events, and then select the most energy efficient buffer size based on user behaviors. Finally, we propose a mobility-assisted user contact detection (MAUC) algorithm to save energy for Bluetooth. Bluetooth is widely used to scan for the appearance/disappearance of nearby users (called user contacts). To get accurate results, frequent scans should be used, but consume lots of energy. We notice that the changing of user contacts is caused by user movements and then analyze the relationship between these two events from real measurement. Based on the findings we design the MAUC algorithm. In MAUC, energy-friendly accelerometer is used to detect the user movement, and Bluetooth scan is only used when the user movement has a high possibility to impact the user contact.

A Surfstoke é uma rede social para smartphones que possibilita os praticantes de desportos de ondas a fazerem check-in no seu local de surf e construírem o seu próprio relatório de surf, criando informação valiosa. O relatório de surf combina informação quantitativa (vertente meteorológica – adicionada informaticamente) com informação qualitativa (fotografia, comentário e avaliação – adicionada pelo utilizador), que será visível na aplicação para que outros praticantes possam saber onde estão as melhores ondas, os seus amigos e decidir qual o melhor local para surfar. Para além desta vertente, a Surfstoke apresenta-se como sendo uma plataforma que, através de um modelo de gamification, permite aos praticantes melhorarem as suas capacidades, incentivando a sua prática, ganhando pontos e, consequentemente, recompensas de marcas relacionadas com os seus gostos e interesses. Este projecto nasceu de uma aventura de empreendedorismo criada pelo autor e mais três colegas que, fruto da observação das tendências tecnológicas presentes e acompanhadas pelo favorável paradigma de empreendedorismo e surf, criaram um produto capaz de ter sucesso no mercado. A penetração dos telemóveis inteligentes na sociedade portuguesa (e mundial) aliadas a um comportamento tecnológico de utilização intensiva e com uma vertente de interligação social bastante apurada levou ao aparecimento da Surfstoke, uma rede social para surfers.

Surfstoke is a smartphone app which enables wave riders to check-in at their spot and to build its own surf report, creating crowdsourced information. This surf report is composed not only by objective weather data but also users can personalize it by adding a photo, a comment and rank the spot. If a surfer needs to know where to surf, he/she can see the friends’ surf reports and location and decide where to go. Most importantly, Surfstoke is a platform which, through a gammification model, allows surfers to improve their skills while earning points and rewards by completing several challenges. This project was born of an entrepreneurial adventure started by the author and three colleagues, who were able to see the favorable landscape that has been developed in Portugal, regarding technological innovation and surfing practice. Smartphone penetration on Portuguese society allied to a technological behavior of hard usage and a highly social interaction were the main reasons to the emergence of Surfstoke – a social network for surfers.

▼ Indoor localization consists of locating oneself inside new buildings. GPS does not work indoors due to multipath reflection and signal blockage. WiFi based systems assume ubiquitous availability and infrastructure based systems require expensive installations, hence making indoor localization an open problem. This dissertation consists of solving the problem of indoor localization by thoroughly exploiting the indoor ambient magnetic fields comprising mainly of disturbances termed as anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by pillars, doors and elevators in hallways which are ferromagnetic in nature. By observing uniqueness in magnetic signatures collected from different campus buildings, the work presents the identification of landmarks and guideposts from these signatures and further develops magnetic maps of buildings - all of which can be used to locate and navigate people indoors. To understand the reason behind these anomalies, first a comparison between the measured and model generated Earth’s magnetic field is made, verifying the presence of a constant field without any disturbances. Then by modeling the magnetic field behavior of different pillars such as steel reinforced concrete, solid steel, and other structures like doors and elevators, the interaction of the Earth’s field with the ferromagnetic fields is described thereby explaining the causes of the uniqueness in the signatures that comprise these disturbances. Next, by employing the dynamic time warping algorithm to account for time differences in signatures obtained from users walking at different speeds, an indoor localization application capable of classifying locations using the magnetic signatures is developed solely on the smart phone. The application required users to walk short distances of 3-6 m anywhere in hallway to be located with accuracies of 80-99%. The classification framework was further validated with over 90% accuracies using model generated magnetic signatures representing hallways with different kinds of pillars, doors and elevators. All in all, this dissertation contributes the following: 1) provides a framework for understanding the presence of ambient magnetic fields indoors and utilizing them to solve the indoor localization problem; 2) develops an application that is independent of the user and the smart phones and 3) requires no other infrastructure since it is deployed on a device that encapsulates the sensing, computing and inferring functionalities, thereby making it a novel contribution to the mobile and pervasive computing domain.

▼ Nos últimos anos observamos uma mudança no paradigma de uso dos aparelhos celulares. Inicialmente eles possuíam um número limitado de funções, voltados apenas para fazer e receber chamadas. Atualmente, contudo, eles se tornaram dispositivos de propósito geral, oferecendo diversos serviços como GPS, e-mail, jogos, vídeos, etc. Além disto, a cada ano cresce o número de sensores integrados ao smartphone. Essa alta quantidade de sensores possibilita que os atuais dispositivos móveis sejam sensíveis ao contexto, ou seja, entendam o contexto do usuário e adaptem-se a diferentes situações. Contudo, a coleta contínua de dados contextuais e associada ao uso exagerado de sensores consome muita energia. E infelizmente as baterias usadas nos smartphones não evoluíram no mesmo ritmo que os demais componentes. Desta forma, surge um novo desafio: Como prover mais serviços e de melhor qualidade sem desperdiçar energia? Por este motivo, diversos artigos sobre o hardware e o software em dispositivos móveis são voltados para desenvolver soluções em eficiência energética, ou seja, reduzir o consumo de energia sem que os dispositivos percam a performance e a qualidade dos serviços oferecidos. Este trabalho de mestrado propõe um método de redução de consumo de energia baseado em contexto para smartphones através da seleção de sensores. O objetivo é entender quais atividades o usuário executa e o ambiente onde ele se encontra para selecionar apenas os sensores mais adequados ao momento. Com isto evita-se o desperdício de energia causado por diversos sensores ativos sem deixar de atender correntamente ao usuário. Em nosso estudo usamos regras de associação para relacionar diferentes características do usuário, como sociabilidade, mobilidade, posição, etc, de modo a inferir todo o contexto do usuário de maneira simples e rápida. Para validar nosso estudo, desenvolvemos um serviço android e realizamos experimentos de energia. O protótipo conseguiu aumentar o tempo de vida das baterias dos smartphones estudados em mais de uma hora.

▼ One of the most important trends in today’s marketplace is consumers’ increased reliance on smartphones not only as a communication device but also as a central platform for accessing information, entertainment and other consumption activities—the so-called “mobile revolution” (Ackley 2015). While the marketing implications of mobile platforms are receiving emerging attention in the marketing modeling literature (e.g., Danaher et al. 2015; Ghose and Han 2011; Sultan et al. 2009), still very little is known about the consumption psychology of smartphone usage. The purpose of my dissertation is to address this void by examining what is fundamentally different about the psychology of smartphone use. The dissertation consists of two essays examining two complementary components of mobile consumer behavior. In the first essay I focus on clarifying the particular type of relationship that consumers form with their smartphones. Specifically, I advance the hypothesis that smartphones often fulfill the role of “attachment objects” for consumers. That is, smartphones are now used by many consumers in much the same way as pacifiers or security blankets are used by children—which I refer to as the Adult Pacifier Hypothesis. Consistent with this hypothesis, results from two controlled lab experiments show that relative to a comparable device such as one’s personal computer, engaging with one’s smartphone provides greater comfort as well as faster recovery from a stressful situation, both of which are defining characteristics of attachment objects. A third lab study reveals that, under feelings of stress, people actively seek out and engage with the device over other objects in much the same way that a child would seek out and engage with his or her pacifier. Also consistent with this hypothesis, a fourth study shows that the drive to use one’s smartphone becomes especially pronounced among consumers who have recently quit smoking—that is, consumers who are particularly susceptible to anxiety and stress. In the second essay I document an important consequence of consumers’ increased reliance on their smartphones: its impact on user-generated content. Across three field studies and six controlled lab experiments, I find that smartphone usage drives the creation of content that is more emotional, specifically more positively emotional, and potentially more impactful than content generated on PCs. Overall, these findings provide insight into the psychology of the mobile consumer and its downstream marketing implications.

Detta arbete avser redogöra om och hur kommuner och kommunala bolag använder sig av mobila GIS-appar i det dagliga arbetet. Det ska även ge en allmän beskrivning av hur teknologin fungerar och hur marknaden ser ut. Som det är just nu ökar användningen av smarta mobiler, så kallade "smartphones", hos allmänheten och även företag har börjat köpa in smartphones till kontoren. Även försäljningen av surfplattor har ökat och förväntas öka ännu mer de närmaste åren. Detta medför att marknaden för applikationer har ökat avsevärt. När det gäller användandet av mobila GIS-appar inom kommuner och kommunala bolag verkar marknaden just nu vara ganska liten men intresset ökar. Av de som svarat på vår enkät svarade en majoritet att de skulle kunna tänka sig att använda mobila GIS-appar och att de var intresserade av att utveckla egna applikationer specialiserade för deras behov. Teknologin utvecklas väldigt snabbt just nu och nya modeller av både smartphones och surfplattor kommer ständigt ut på marknaden. Modellerna blir tåligare och kraftfullare men än så länge är det en bit kvar innan de kommer ikapp den ruggade PC:n när det gäller funktionalitet. Just nu är det inte många av de kommuner och kommunala bolag som svarat på enkäten som använder mobila GIS-appar ofta i sitt dagliga arbete. Detta verkar bero på att informationen om vilka applikationer som finns och hur man använder dem inte når ut till organisationerna. Rädslan för att enheterna som applikationerna används på inte ska klara av fältarbete är också en av anledningarna till att andra metoder väljs. Vad vi kommit fram till efter sammanställningen av enkäten och de två telefonintervjuer som gjorts är att kommunerna och deras kommunala bolag är intresserade av mobila GIS-appar och vill kunna ta till sig tekniken men vet inte hur det ska gå till än.

The intention of this work is to describe whether and how municipalities and municipal companies make use of mobile GIS-apps in their daily work. It will also give a general description of how the technology works and what the market looks like. Right now the use of Smartphones is increasing with the public and even companies have started buying smartphones to their offices. The sale of Tablets has also increased and is expected to increase even more in the next few years. This means that the market for applications have increased considerably. The use of mobile GIS-apps by municipalities and municipal companies seems to be rather small right now but the interest is growing all the time. Of those who responded to our questionnaire the majority said that they would be willing to use mobile GIS-apps and that they were interested in developing their own applications specialized for their needs. The technology is developing very rapidly right now and new models of both smartphones and tablets are constantly on the market. The models are more durable and more powerful but as yet there is some way to go before they catch up with the rugged PC in terms of functionality. Right now…

▼ Mobile applications' energy efficiency and performance have a vital impact on user experience. However, many mobile applications on market suffer from bugs that can cause significant energy waste and performance degradation, thereby losing their competitive edge. Locating these bugs is labor-intensive and thus automated diagnosis is highly desirable. Unfortunately, people have limited understanding of these bugs and there are no clear criteria to facilitate automated analysis of mobile applications' energy efficiency or execution performance. To bridge the gap, we conducted two large-scale empirical studies of real-world energy and performance bugs from popular Android applications. We studied the characteristics of these bugs and identified several common causes of energy waste and performance degradation. For energy bugs, we observed that (1) forgetting to deactivate device sensors or wake locks after use and (2) ineffectively utilizing sensory data can cause serious energy waste. To help developers detect such energy bugs, we proposed a dynamic analysis technique GreenDroid. GreenDroid automatically generates user interaction event sequences to systematically execute an Android application for state space exploration. During execution, it tracks the transformation, propagation and consumption of sensory data and analyzes whether the data are effectively utilized by the application to bring users perceptible benefits. It also closely monitors whether device sensors and wake locks are properly deactivated after use. We evaluated GreenDroid using 14 popular open-source Android applications. GreenDroid successfully located 13 real energy bugs in these applications and additionally found two previously-unknown bugs that were later confirmed by developers. For performance bugs, we observed that (1) conducting lengthy operations in an application's main thread and (2) frequently invoking heavy-weight program callbacks can seriously reduce the responsiveness of an application. To help developers detect such performance bugs, we designed a light-weight static analysis technique PerfChecker. PerfChecker automatically scans an Android application's bytecode and identifies a set of checkpoints whose efficiency is critical. It then analyzes whether the checkpoints' implementation satisfies the efficiency rules formulated from our empirical study. We evaluated PerfChecker with 39 popular and large-scale Android applications (29 open-source and 10 commercial) and a widely-used library. PerfChecker successfully detected 178 previously-unknown performance bugs, among which 88 were quickly confirmed by developers and 20 critical ones were fixed soon afterwards. We also confirmed via comparison experiments that fixing our detected performance bugs can significantly improve the performance of the corresponding applications.

Smartphones have become an inseparable gadget and beneficial tool in our lives. Imagining a future without them would truly be impossible. When a new technology arrives, society needs time to adjust and become aware of the impact products have on people and our ways of behaving.. This always takes time. In the case of smartphones, the last few years have shown a growing amount of literature, media, researchers and most successful people in the world give attention to the negative effects and developments smartphones and social media has had on many people around the world. This thesis did even so, but has as final goal to create awareness, stir debate and provoke reflection within the audience about the subject. To do so we used design as tool. This particular movement is called Critical Design. Through an extensive literature research the present effects and developments in different areas of expertise were identified, such as the cognitive area, psychological, physiological, and social. From a user study empirical data related to the matter was collected, the way people feel, think and experience their own relationships to their phones. Combined, these scientific findings led to five interesting themes that we transformed into a smartphone manifesto, which could then be used as basis for the idea generation. The Social Paradox, The Loss of Solitude, Your Internal Friction, Your Divided Attention, The Addiction. For each theme, one design has been made. The final outcome of this thesis is a collection of five critical designs, from which three have been developed into prototypes. As part of these designs, narratives have been created in the form of commercial like videos, setting the context and adding to the completeness of the design concepts. By combining personal perceptions towards society with scientific evidence and empirical data, a translation from a very scientific background towards a more artistic way of designing was made. There was no prior process similar to the one taken in this thesis, which allowed a very open, new and free way of going through the design process. In a qualitative final evaluation, 8 people were interviewed in order to find out if the critical designs provoked them and created critical reflections towards our own behaviors and relations to smartphones within society.

▼ Background Rapid and sophisticated development in mobile and wireless technologies has contributed to the transformation of healthcare service delivery across the globe. While over one billion smartphones were sold to end users in 2014, there are on average 107 mobile phone subscriptions per 100 persons worldwide. The diverse functionality and utility of these devices contributed to their board application to the general public as well as those working in a clinical setting. The use of smartphone plays a fundamental role in patient management as it may improve access to care, outcomes in diseases that are high in incidence and prevalence and where time-to-treatment is a key predictor of outcome as well as reduce costs. Though there are many benefits that smartphones may bring to the clinical setting, it is important to understand and assess the quality of support they offer. The aim of this review is to assess smartphone’s performance and reliability as an aid in clinical diagnosis, in particular the level of accuracy it achieves and it’s potential to be fully integrated into mainstream clinical practice. Methods A literature search using keywords was performed in PubMed. Following the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 relevant papers were identified and included in this review. Their compliance with the Standards for the Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy (STARD) was critically assessed to evaluate the quality of their methods and reporting. Findings All 11 articles produced findings to demonstrate that smartphone, equipped with the right specifications and functions, is a reliable aid to enable the formation of accurate diagnosis. Studies that reported statistical findings on accuracy, sensitivity and specificity (required by STARD), as well as positive and negative predictive values suggested highly sensitive and specific results with largely good level of accuracy achieved. In determining whether the diagnostic agreement between the index tests and the reference standards were better than chance alone, majority of the studies revealed ‘moderate’ to ‘almost perfect’ level of concordance with k-value ranging from 0.60 to 1. Respective internal and external validity and the findings’ implications to healthcare were also discussed. Conclusion The evidence gathered in this review deemed not sufficient to conclude the reliability and accuracy of smartphone as a tool to be integrated into clinical practice to aid the formation of diagnosis. However, as technology continues to advance, quality of smartphones can be expected to improve further for boarder adoption in mainstream clinical practice. Rigorous evaluation and validation, establishment of appropriate standards, as well as study of best practice in the integration of these devices in clinical practice are essential to ensure quality and safety.

▼ Emergency Medical Dispatch Protocols are guidelines that a 9-1-1 dispatcher uses to evaluate the nature of emergency, resources to send and the nature of help provided to the 9-1-1 caller. The current Dispatch Protocols are based on voice only call. But the Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) architecture will allow multimedia emergency calls. In this thesis I analyze and model the Emergency Medical Dispatch Protocols for NG9-1-1 architecture. I have identified various technical aspects to improve the NG9-1-1 Dispatch Protocols. The devices (smartphone) at the caller end have advanced to a point where they can be used to send and receive video, pictures and text. There are sensors embedded in them that can be used for initial diagnosis of the injured person. There is a need to improve the human computer (smartphone) interface to take advantage of technology so that callers can easily make use of various features available to them. The dispatchers at the 9-1-1 call center can make use of these new protocols to improve the quality and the response time. They will have capability of multiple media streams to interact with the caller and the first responders.The specific contributions in this thesis include developing applications that use smartphone sensors. The CPR application uses the smartphone to help administer effective CPR even if the person is not trained. The application makes the CPR process closed loop, i.e., the person who administers the CPR as well as the 9-1-1 operator receive feedback and prompt from the application about the correctness of the CPR. The breathing application analyzes the quality of breathing of the affected person and automatically sends the information to the 9-1-1 operator. In order to improve the Human Computer Interface at the caller and the operator end, I have analyzed Fitts law and extended it so that it can be used to improve the instructions given to a caller. In emergency situations, the caller may be physically or cognitively impaired. This may happen either because the caller is the injured person, or because the caller is a close relative or friend of the injured person. Using EEG waves, I have analyzed and developed a mathematical model of a person's cognitive impairment. Finally, I have developed a mathematical model of the response time of a 9-1-1 call and analyzed the factors that can be improved to reduce the response time. In this regard, another application, I have developed, allows the 9-1-1 operator to remotely control the media features of a caller's smartphone. This is needed in case the caller is unable to operate the multimedia features of the smartphone. For example, the caller may not know how to zoom in the smartphone camera.All these building blocks come together in the development of an efficient NG9-1-1 Emergency Medical Dispatch protocols. I have provided a sample of these protocols, using the existing Emergency Dispatch Protocols used in the state of New Jersey. The new protocols will have fewer questions and more visual prompts to evaluate the nature of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Dantu, Ram, Swigger, Kathleen, Tarau, Paul, Pitroda, Sam G.

▼ There is intense debate surrounding the opportunities and dangers of smartphone use. A substantial literature demonstrates smartphones' associations with a variety of negative outcomes like anxiety and depression, while contrasting literature extols the benefits of smartphones such as increased social connection. Recent research suggests a more nuanced view: that problematic outcomes do not result from use per se, but rather from using smartphones in a habitual, passive, externally-driven manner. Recommendations have been made for how to reduce this problematic use with a variety of smartphone settings changes, but few of these interventions have been empirically tested. Building on a pilot study conducted by the author and colleagues, the current study aims to (1) assess the individual efficacy of several interventions designed to promote more intentional smartphone usage, (2) measure the automaticity of smartphone usage over repeated instances of use with a novel ecological momentary assessment (EMA) paradigm, and (3) examine possible mechanisms of change which may play a role in the observed effects of the interventions. Participants (N = 462) recruited from university classes were randomly assigned to one of five groups and instructed to implement one of the following smartphone settings changes: (1) alphabetize homescreen apps (active control), (2) turn off most notifications, (3) remove all non-tool apps from the homescreen, (4) change the screen to grayscale, (5) concurrently implement the previous three interventions. The intervention period lasted three weeks and was preceded by a three-week baseline period, with objective smartphone usage and EMA data collected throughout. Relative to the active control group, participants in the combined intervention group reported modest reductions in automaticity, Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), and smartphone addiction, whereas the grayscale group demonstrated reductions in weekly smartphone unlocks. The interventions did not appear to be influenced by participants' dispositional levels of mindfulness, self-control, and experiential avoidance, and the effects of the combined interventions on FoMO and smartphone addiction were significantly mediated by reductions in retrospectively rated automaticity. The EMA assessment found that greater automaticity of the prior phone use predicted worse momentary mood, and no treatment significantly impacted momentary automaticity from pre- to post-intervention.
