To Stop or Not to Stop: Exploring the Intention-Behavior Gaps in Smartphone Usage

As smartphones become integral to daily life, researchers have sought to identify when the use becomes problematic. Previous studies have operationalized problematic smartphone usage (PSU) from either an intention or a behavior perspective. Both risk delivering interventions not welcomed by users. We propose a novel ap...
