Abstract
This study inspects the relationship between outcome expectations, habit strength, and smartphone usage by attempting to validate the new model of media attendance (NMMA) (LaRose and Eastin, 2004), a social-cognitive theory of uses and gratifications. The fast adoption rate of smartphones, and their inherent characteristics as convergent, always-on, always-connected devices, warrant a closer look into user habitualization of this medium. Using a sample of 481 smartphone users selected from a larger panel, we were able to support the NMMA, although surprisingly no significant effect of habit strength on smartphone usage was found. While some uncertainties connected to the method are noted, this suggests a more complex reality, in which habitualization of a convergent media device does not necessarily implicate a significant rise in usage.
