“Device-Dependencies”: How Smartphone Use Affect Consumer Beliefs and Choices

Our special session investigates the consequences of using one’s smartphone to perform certain activities, including making a choice. We demonstrate that these device interactions (1)activate private self-awareness, (2)make consumers become more likely to believe and share fake news, (3)rely less on deliberative processing, and (4)generate a diminished sense of control.
