Smartphone Bias: When Consumers Unnecessarily Avoid Smartphones
This research identifies a “smartphone bias”; consumers expect their performance on a smartphone to be worse than when on a PC, even in situations where there is no impact of the device. Five studies show that the smartphone bias has attitudinal (e.g., decision-making confidence) and behavioral (e.g., choice deferral) consequences.
