“…2 Apps are software programs that serve numerous functions, including communication, productivity, entertainment, shopping, social networking and tracking health behaviours. 3 Previous research has described consumers' general app use [3][4][5] and their use of apps for health tracking 6 and weight loss. [7][8][9] Fewer studies have examined app use in the context of everyday choices about purchasing and consuming food.…”

Understanding how consumers use mobile devices and mobile applications to support their eating behaviour, such as creating grocery lists, gathering meal ideas and ordering food from restaurants, is important for business, marketing and health professionals who seek to reach consumers through mobile technology. This study identified segments of users and non-users of food-related technology and described differences in their demographic characteristics, food-related app use and interest in food-related app functionality. Results revealed that 22 per cent of participants were highly engaged with technology and food, while just 12 per cent were disengaged from both. The remaining two-thirds of participants were evenly split between those who were engaged with technology and food generally but were ambivalent about food-related apps, and those who were utilitarian in their approach to food and disengaged from food-related apps. There were segment differences based on age such that younger adults (ages 18-34) were more likely to be engaged with technology and food than older adults (ages 55+). Technology and food-engaged segments reported the highest levels of use of select food-related apps, but even well-known apps were not highly used, indicating room for market expansion. Findings are discussed in the context of app development, digital advertising and nutritional health interventions.

Abstract-Davis in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) distinguished the importance of subjective norms. However, Davis observed the difficulty to distinguish between the users own attitude and the referents on one's intent by others. This has formed a need for further research to investigate the phenomenon of subjective norms and to identify the key antecedents that determine subjective norms. As m-commerce gains popularity, further examination of how subjective norms affect individual attitude might help contribute to the greater usage. This paper, therefore, contributes in decomposing subjective norms (SN) into four norms: personal injunctive norm (PIN), personal descriptive norm (PDN), societal injunctive norm (SIN) and societal descriptive norm (SDN). The aim of this paper is to decompose SN and to distinct the antecedents of SN. The initial results of 412 university students in Jordan indicate that personal injunctive norm, personal descriptive norm and the societal injunctive norm are indeed antecedents of SN.

Mobile technology and smartphone apps are increasingly being used by pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, leading us to wonder what the role of technology is among Camino pilgrims and what impact technology has on the Camino experience. The purpose of this research is to explore these questions. To do so we conducted separate surveys of American and European pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. This paper presents our analysis of the results of these surveys, focusing on differences between American and European pilgrims. The results showed that some mobile technologies are used extensively by pilgrims, although pilgrims did not consider the technology to be essential. They also showed that technology impacts the Camino experience in both positive and negative ways. Similarities and differences between American and European pilgrims were found in the results.
