Abstract

In my thesis I address the topic of mobile attachment. I provide a theoretical framework for mobile attachment together with influencing factors that indicate user's emotional attachment (EA) to mobile devices and services. I investigate how the concept of user experience (UX) and EA are linked together and I outline how user behavior driven experience sampling can be exploited to measure mobile attachment. My research will result in design suggestions how the creation of EA to mobile devices and services can be facilitated.
