This study employed an online survey experiment in order to determine whether perceptions of environmental/locational privacy or individual levels of self-monitoring have any effect on smartphone uses and gratifications. While perceptions of locational privacy did indeed have a modest effect on smartphone gratifications sought, self-monitoring did not, and no interactions were detected between locational privacy and self-monitoring. Implications for these findings as well as avenues for future research are discussed.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USPerceptionPrivacySelf-monitoringSmartphonesUses and gratificationsElectronic Thesis or Dissertation
