personality and self reported mobile phone use
Computers in Human Behavior, 2008Co-Authors: Sarah Butt, James G PhillipsAbstract:As the mobile phone supports interpersonal interaction, mobile phone use might be a function of personality. This study sought to predict amounts and types of mobile phone use from extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and self-esteem. One hundred and twelve mobile phone owners reported on their use of their mobile phones, and completed the NEO-FFI and the Coopersmith self-esteem inventory. Extraverts reported spending more time calling, and changing ring tone and wallpaper, implying the use of the mobile phone as a means of stimulation. Extraverts and perhaps disagreeable individuals were less likely to value incoming calls. Disagreeable extraverts also reported using the mobile phone more, and spent more time adjusting ringtone/wallpaper. The neurotic, disagreeable, unconscientious and extroverted spent more time messaging using SMS. This study concludes that psychological theory can explain patterns of mobile phone use.

Meaningful Melodies: Personal Sonification of Text Messages for Mobile Devices
ACM, 2012Co-Authors: Bastian Pfleging, Florian Alt, Albrecht SchmidtAbstract:Figure 1: Sonification pipeline to convert text messages. Clip arts are provided under CC0 by openclipart.org. Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). MobileHCI’12, Sept. 21–24, 2012, San Francisco, CA, USA. ACM 978-1-4503-1443-5/12/09. Mobile phones offer great potential for personalization. Besides apps and background images, ringtones are the major form of personalization. They are most often used to have a personal sound for incoming texts and calls. Furthermore, ringtones are used to identify the caller or sender of a message. In parts, this function is utilitarian (e.g., caller identification without looking at the phone) but it is also a form of self-expression (e.g., favorite tune as standard ringtone). We investigate how audio can be used to convey richer information. In this demo we show how sonifications of SMS can be used to encode informa-tion about the sender’s identity as well as the content and intention of a message based on flexible, user-generated mappings. We present a platform that allows arbitrary mappings to be managed and apps to be connected in order to create a sonification of any message. Using a background app on Android, we show the utility of the approach for mobile devices. Author Keywords Sonification; text messages; rich audible information

blurring livelihoods and lives the social uses of mobile phones and socioeconomic development
Innovations: Technology Governance Globalization, 2009Co-Authors: Jonathan DonnerAbstract:tos you might have set to appear as caller ID, the ringtone you have chosen, and the bookmarks or applets you may use to check everything from sports scores to movie times. But mainly, just think of the basic flow of incoming and outgoing calls; chances are, you may have used your handset to call a colleague one moment and your mother the next. Even if you haven’t made any calls today, your phone is probably on, waiting patiently to connect you to the office, to students, to friends, or to family. As technologies go, mobile phones are quite flexible. GSM and CDMA networks provide coverage to homes, to workplaces, even to the wilderness. People carry handsets with them as they move from place to place and between social situations. By enabling and strengthening social and economic relationships at a distance, mobiles shift time and place, and complicate contexts and roles to an even greater degree than the landlines that preceded them. Carrying a mobile invites consideration or even reconfiguration of being “at work,”“in transit,”“at home,” or “at play.” 1 Mobiles blur the lines between livelihoods and lives, and not just among smartphone-wielding information workers. Rather, this blurring can be experienced by almost anyone engaged with work. Around the world, farmers and fishermen, artisans and day laborers, community health workers and primary school teachers are carrying handsets and using them for both productive and personal uses throughout their daily routines. This paper focuses on how this intermingling of lives and livelihoods, as mediated by the mobile phone, figures into the micro-processes of economic development. It neither broadly elaborates the core contributions of mobile phone use to economic development (synchronizing prices, expanding markets, reducing transport costs, etc.), nor suggests that one kind of mobile use is more important than another. Instead, it argues simply for a perspective on work and on livelihoods that is broad enough to account for (and perhaps even take advantage of) the social processes surrounding these activities.
