Causal Relationship between Smartphone Usage Behavior and Carbon Emission
Keywords:
Smartphone, Behavior, Smartphone usage patterns, Attitudes towards smartphone usage, Carbon emissionsAbstract
The main purpose of this research was to study the causal relationship between smartphone usage behavior and carbon emission. The sample consisted of 400 students of Mahasarakham Rajabhat University during the second semester of the 2016 academic year. By means of structural equation modeling, it was revealed that behavioral usage of smartphones (BIS) was significantly influenced by factors of acquiring smartphones (FAS) and attitudes toward carbon emission of smartphone usage (ATE) for 45 percent. Moreover, both usage patterns of smartphones (UPS) and FAS influenced ATE significantly for 52 percent.
