Abstract As smartphone use continues to become more embedded within daily life, identifying the factors driving their use in extreme environments may have numerous meaningful implications. Little is currently known about mountaineers’ intentions to use smartphones in high-alpine environments. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control predicted mountaineers’ intentions to use smartphones in high-alpine environments. A sample of 167 mountaineers from 37 countries completed a brief questionnaire about their intentions to use smartphones during their next high-alpine expedition. A series of multiple regression analyses were used to determine the salient beliefs influencing mountaineers’ smartphone use in high-alpine environments. The study findings provide a better understanding of the potential factors driving mountaineers’ use of smartphones. More broadly, these findings add to the growing body of literature regarding smartphone use in extreme environments.

“使用或不使用”了解登山者在高山环境中的智能手机使用情况

摘要 随着智能手机的使用越来越深入日常生活，确定在极端环境中使用智能手机的因素可能会产生许多有意义的影响。目前对登山者在高山环境中使用智能手机的意图知之甚少。因此，本研究的目的是检验态度、主观规范和感知行为控制在多大程度上预测登山者在高山环境中使用智能手机的意图。来自 37 个国家/地区的 167 名登山者样本完成了一份关于他们在下一次高山探险期间使用智能手机的意图的简短问卷。一系列多元回归分析用于确定影响登山者在高山环境中使用智能手机的显着信念。研究结果让我们更好地了解推动登山者使用智能手机的潜在因素。更广泛地说，这些发现增加了越来越多关于极端环境中智能手机使用的文献。
