Measuring mobile phone use: Gender, age, and real usage level in relation to the accuracy and validity of self-reported mobile phone use KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
© 2013, © The Author(s) 2013. This article reports the results of a mobile phone use validation survey in which we compared self-reported mobile phone use to network provider data, and examined the observed discrepancies between both data sources in a convenience sample of 466 Flemish mobile phone users (18–65 years). The results showed significant discrepancies between self-reported and behavioral mobile phone use, particularly for the number ...
Mobile Phone Penetration, Mobile Banking and Inclusive Development in Africa Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The study assesses the role of mobile phones and mobile banking in decreasing inequality in 52 African countries. The empirical procedure involves first, examining the income-redistributive effect of mobile phone penetration and then investigating the contribution of mobile banking services in this relationship. The findings suggest an equalizing income-redistributive effect of ‘mobile phone penetration’ and ‘mobile banking’, with a higher ...
‘Mobile phone communication in the mobile margins of Africa : The `communication revolution' evaluated from below’ Universiteit Gent
The mobile phone has become part of the changing history of communication cultures in Africa. Instead of viewing the introduction of new communication technologies as ‘having major effects’, as is often the case in ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) circles, we view the relation between technologies and society as interactive. New technologies, such as the mobile phone, may indeed lead to social change, yet at the ...
Private life telepressure and workplace cognitive failure among hospital nurses : the moderating role of mobile phone presence Universiteit Gent
Anytime, Anywhere: our ambiguous relation with our mobile phone Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The mobile phone is a technology that has been adopted very fast. "Anytime, Anywhere" used to be an advertisement one-liner in the early days of the mobile phone. Nowadays several authors question if constant availability is uniquely positive. The mobile phone and the blurring of borders between private and professional life has already been researched thoroughly yet, but in this paper we focus on constant availability for one's social network. ...
Impact of one's own mobile phone in stand-by mode on personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure Universiteit Gent
When moving around, mobile phones in stand-by mode periodically send data about their positions. The aim of this paper is to evaluate how personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) measurements are affected by such location updates. Exposure from a mobile phone handset (uplink) was measured during commuting by using a randomized cross-over study with three different scenarios: disabled mobile phone (reference), an activated dual-band ...
Exploring psychological factors of mobile phone use while riding among motorcyclists in Vietnam Universiteit Hasselt
Mobile phone use while riding is one of the five most common risky behaviors of motorcycle riders in Vietnam. This study investigated motorcyclist's mobile phone use while riding intention and behavior based on the extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework. Based on this framework, attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control , habits, and health motivation underlying the rider's mobile phone use while riding intentions and ...
Building workers' travel demand models based on mobile phone data Universiteit Hasselt
Daily activity-travel sequences of individuals have been estimated by activity-based transportation models. The sequences serve as a key input for travel demand analysis and forecasting in the region. However, the high cost along with other limitations inherent to traditional travel data collecting methods has hampered the models’ further advancement and application, particularly in developing countries. With the wide deployment of mobile phone ...
Annotating mobile phone location data with activity purposes using machine learning algorithms Universiteit Hasselt
Individual human travel patterns captured by mobile phone data have been quantitatively characterized by mathematical models, but the underlying activities which initiate the movement are still in a less-explored stage. As a result of the nature of how activity and related travel decisions are made in daily life, human activity-travel behavior exhibits a high degree of spatial and temporal regularities as well as sequential ordering. In this ...
