“…Most of these activities were either related to short actions (taking pictures, recording videos), consuming content (viewing pictures, reading messages), getting information (getting directions, searching for information) or checking habits (checking the time / weather / calendar), cf. [21]. Activities like playing games or watching videos were less frequently performed, which was also confirmed by the diary study and the expert interviews.…”

“…Böhmer et al [20] studied smartphone usage in meetings and presented an application for raising people's attention in meetings. In a more psychological study, Oulasvirta et al [21] found evidence that mobile devices are habit-forming and that the typical checking behavior is reinforced by informational rewards that are easily accessible. Sohn et al [22] investigated mobile information requests and found that around 72% of the tasks related to information requests were triggered by their context.…”

Abstract -Early research on head-worn computers (HWCs) has focused on hardware and specific applications. However, there is little research about the everyday usage of head-worn computers in particular aspects such as: context of use, social acceptance across different activities, audiences and interaction techniques. This paper provides insights into the use of headworn computers by capturing the opinions of novice and expert users through a survey, a three-week diary study, and interviews. The overarching finding is that the context of use is critical, either due to the need to support micro-interactions, or because the interaction paradigm itself should depend on the context of use.

“…To conclude, the use of mobile phones seems to be an intrinsic part of young people's lives, one that is reinforced through the self-and social gratification it provides, 41,42 and which also enables young people to manage their own emotions and behavior. 20,22,24 Given the current availability of Internet-enabled mobile phones as tools for communication and entertainment among adolescents, research is needed that addresses the use of these smartphones, which may lead to more use overall, 43 as well as to addictive behaviors that can be associated with problematic use. …”

The problematic use of mobile phones among adolescents has not been widely studied. There are very few instruments for assessing potential technological addiction to mobile phones, or for categorizing different types of users or uses. The most widely used scale is the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS), which is used to study adult populations, and has been applied in various forms in international contexts. The aims of this study were to adapt the Spanish version of this scale (MPPUSA) to British adolescents, and then to estimate the prevalence of possible problematic users. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 1,529 secondary school pupils aged between 11 and 18 years, with 1,026 completed questionnaires being collected. The analysis showed that the factor and construct validity and reliability were comparable to those obtained in previous studies. The prevalence of problematic users among the students was 10%, and the typical problematic user tended to be an adolescent between 11 and 14 years old, studying in a public school, who considered themselves to be an expert user of this technology, who made extensive use of his/her mobile phone, and who attributed the same problem of use among their peers. These users presented notable scores in all the symptoms covered by the scale used to assess problematic use. In conclusion, the adaptation of the MPPUSA as a screening scale for British adolescents presents good sensitivity and specificity for detecting the main addictive symptoms proposed in this validated version.

Nowadays, the new technology defines the classroom and students' and teachers' life. Sometimes the attitude towards technology use is marked by negative dysfunctional emotion, anxiety, fear, avoidance or dependence. This paper focuses both on the anxiety with the new technology and on the anxiety without technology. Our research aims to examine the attitudes and behaviours of Romanian high school students regarding trendy technologies, such as computers, internet and smartphones, including the access to social networking applications. The following tools were used: CARS (Heinssen, Glass, & Knight, 1987), IAS (Nickel and Pinto, 1986), four scales from MTUAS (Rosen, Whaling, Carrier, Cheever, and Rokkum, 2013), the Use of Smartphones for Learning Purposes Scale-USLS and a socio-demographic questionnaire. There were 517 participants distributed in two studies. The findings showed some differences concerning gender, age, specialization and academic performance, as well as an evolution of participants from the anxiety towards the computer (highest with females) to the anxiety without technology (similar for females and males). School performance is negatively associated with computer anxiety and Facebook activities. The study is important in the Romanian context, where computers, internet and smartphone penetration is more pronounced with younger people. Pedagogical issues of the research are also discussed, anxiety having a double function, as an endogenous and exogenous factor with respect to one's academic and professional development.
