This dissertation explores the effects of smartphone use on individuals' perceptions of privacy, presence, and publicity. It tests hypothesized relationships based on media effects theorizing by Marshall McLuhan, Joshua Meyrowitz, and Dana Cuff. The study's findings were generated from two surveys conducted in 2015 and 2020. Findings highlight the relationship of smartphone use with privacy concerns, perceptions of smartphone distraction, and the use of smartphones to create media content for public consumption. In general, participants were shown to express high levels of privacy concern with respect to their smartphone use, but despite this concern they often engaged in activities that would seem to jeopardize the safety of their personal information. Some evidence was found for the connectivity made possible by smartphones being associated with higher levels of perceived distraction, but these results were inconsistent between the 2015 and 2020 samples. A key takeaway was the central role smartphones play for communication and content consumption among study participants. Smartphones were shown to be the primary vehicle for most participants' content consumption and particularly social media. The potential for the big data industry to capitalize on the volume and frequency of smartphone use is a topic highlighted in the discussion of results. Ultimately, the dissertation develops a theoretical framework for understanding iv smartphone users as participants in an information echo chamber that functions to shape and reinforce their identities as consumers and public figures.
