“…Hence, the user-device connection cannot be understood without identifying the interactive effects of technology and mobility behaviors, including how the precursors-and effects-of these usage patterns and spaces operate in tandem. If mobile gaming relieves stress during his work commute, yet also amplifies stress during his sleep routine, then the underlying mechanisms of digital well-being may be overlooked (Vanden Abeele, 2020). For the above reasons, unpacking how users are psychologically synced with their technologies increasingly demands that researchers delineate the spatial contours of daily mobile behavior.…”

T he fact that mobile technologies can be used almost anywhere makes them seem almost placeless, as if they were independent from their surrounding environments. Theorists, designers, and researchers have long heralded the possibilities of mobile media to circumvent spatial constraints (see Campbell, 2019;McLuhan, 1964). Yet, over time it has become clear that this projection of mobile capabilities is overstated (Frith, 2015;Humphreys et al., 2018). In this chapter, we review how the use of mobile media is deeply embedded in and shaped by the spatial contexts that we inhabit in our daily lives. Consequently, our understanding of mobile technologies, including their psychological effects, must be grounded in an understanding of daily mobility: how people move through everyday spaces.To illustrate, consider an individual, Jerry, who plays the popular (as of 2020) mobile game Candy Crush. Jerry's total usage of Candy Crush can be considered an aggregation of playing the game in a variety of spatial

“…These studies mainly focused on the trip level and relate to either online shopping or teleworking, but not both. Moreover, ICT use in the form of social media has also been found to affect travel for social activities, such as face-to-face social interaction or leisure activities (Calastri et al 2017 ; Delbosc and Mokhtarian 2018 ; van der Waerden et al 2019 ). Given the focus of this study, in this section, we review the literature examining the impact of online shopping and teleworking on travel as well as literature on tour-based travel.…”

Impacts of teleworking and online shopping on travel: a tour-based analysis

Large-scale adoption of telemobility, such as teleworking and online shopping, has affected travel patterns significantly. The impacts of teleworking and online shopping on travel have been studied separately and with trip-level analyses, thereby ignoring tour complexity, trip chaining, and activity scheduling. We aim to address this gap by investigating the interactions between online shopping, teleworking, and travel at a tour level, considering trip chaining and the importance of the activities involved. We classify tours into mandatory (e.g., travel for work, school), maintenance (e.g., travel for grocery shopping, appointments, errands), and discretionary (e.g., travel for non-grocery shopping, leisure, religious activities) tours according to the primary activity purpose. We then estimate a structural equation model using a one-week activity-travel diary from the 2019 Puget Sound Regional Travel Study. The results indicate that teleworking reduced mandatory and maintenance tours while increasing online shopping. Mandatory tours were negatively associated with both maintenance tours and online shopping, whereas the number of maintenance tours was positively associated with the number of discretionary tours. We did not find a statistically significant relationship between online shopping, maintenance tours, and discretionary tours. Overall, this study offers new insights into the effect of teleworking and online shopping on travel, with potential implications for travel demand modeling and management, as well as for the design of travel surveys that take such virtual activities into account.

“…That is, the same motivation could shape both spatial and virtual behavior, but also potentially be satisfied by either one. Typically, the relationship between physical and virtual mobilities has been examined at the individual level (Dal Fiore, Mokhtarian, Salomon, & Singer, 2014;Mokhtarian, 2002;van der Waerden et al, 2019), such as investigating whether frequent mobile users spend more time at home (Thulin & Vilhelmson, 2019) or visit fewer locations (de Nadai, Cardoso, Lima, Lepri, & Oliver, 2019).…”

In this chapter, we chart parallel lines of research on mobile technology and daily mobility. Specifically, we review how people engage with mobile technologies in-place and on-the-go, as well as their broader connection with their mobile devices. In each section, we review and link perspectives from psychology and mobility studies towards an integrative understanding of mobile media use. We then survey emerging mobile methodologies with potential for interdisciplinary work. To conclude, we collapse these boundaries – between being in-place and on-the-go, and mobile technology and daily mobility – to consider the trajectory of future research on the psychology of mobile technology.
