        abstract = {This study addresses (non)acceptance by individuals of mobile applications (apps) for health self-management (e.g., apps for running). Regulatory Focus Theory (RFT) and Regulatory Fit (RF) principles are used to facilitate understanding of acceptance of such apps within a goal pursuit process. First, RFT was deployed to position different apps as strategies aligned with promotion/prevention goal orientation (supporting pursuit of achievement/safety). The Promotion-Prevention (PM-PV) scale was developed to allow differentiation between such apps. Second, through experimentation it was established that RF principles can be used to understand m-health adoption where promotion/prevention oriented apps can be (mis)matched to individuals' congruent goal orientation (promotion/prevention). The experiment was a first study confirming fit effects resulting from product antecedents in combination with a chronic (individual long-term) goal orientation; this condition was necessary to understand m-health tools adoption in "real-life" situations. Implications for healthcare practitioners are outlined.},
