Rate My Professor Amr Soror

Soror's research focuses on the intersection of information systems, psychology, sociology, and business, with emphasis on self-regulation in IT-related phenomena such as addictive smartphone usage, negative consequences of mobile phone habits, cognitive biases in IT continued usage intentions, habituation and sensitization in social media use, and knowledge diffusion in social media networks. His publications include "Good Habits Gone Bad: Explaining Negative Consequences Associated with the Use of Mobile Phones from a Dual-Systems Perspective" co-authored and published in the Information Systems Journal in 2015, "Exhaustion and Dependency: A Habituation–Sensitization Perspective on the Duality of Habit in Social Media Use" in 2021, "An Empirical Examination of Cognitive Absorption in a Computer-based Simulation Training Context" in 2019, "Why Do You Keep Doing That? The Biasing Effects of Mental States on IT Continued Usage Intentions" in 2017, "Diffusion of Knowledge in Social Media Networks: Effects of Reputation Mechanisms and Distribution of Knowledge Roles" in 2016, and "Addiction to Mobile Phone or Addiction through Mobile Phone?" in 2016. These works, drawing from surveys and theoretical models like dual-systems perspectives and social cognitive theory, have accumulated over 500 citations. Ongoing projects explore cognitive biases in IT use behavior, with prospective studies on fitness tracking devices and enterprise social media for organizational knowledge sharing.
