User identity in the internet of things: effects of self-extension and message framing on object attachment

Published: 07 September 2015 Publication History

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has gained increasing popularity as an attractive paradigm in which users and smart objects interact socially. To propose effective ways of providing a more positive IoT user experience, this study examined the effects of identity extension (user identity being extended onto an IoT device vs. not being extended) and the type of framing (hedonic vs. utilitarian) of messages delivered via the device. Preliminary data from a between-subjects experiment (N = 22) revealed that identity extension induced greater attachment and satisfaction with regard to the device and resulted in the experience of greater feelings of social presence. In addition, the results indicated that the effect of identity extension on satisfaction and social presence was mediated by user attachment to the device. The implications of the key findings are discussed.
