ABSTRACT
The study investigates how the excessive use of social networking sites (SNSs) on smartphones for social, hedonic, and cognitive purposes leads to three types of technological friction; namely, friction between technology and family, technology and work, and technology and personal health (T-FWP friction), with moderating role of guilt feelings, results in strain and consequently intention to discontinue the use of SNSs. Time-lagged data collected from 505 smartphone-based SNS users provide general support to our hypotheses.
