Summary/Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive exploration of theoretical frameworks essential for understanding smartphone users’ security behavior. It delves into the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior (DTPB), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Every framework provides distinct perspectives on the implementation, acceptance, and usage of security measures. Through the integration of these frameworks, researchers get an indepth understanding of the elements that impact behavioral intentions and actions in the domain of smartphone security. The paper also highlights the evolution and expansion of these frameworks over time, emphasizing their relevance in contemporary research and practical applications. Moreover, it outlines prospective directions for research, such as examining the interaction between developing technology and perceptions of security, evaluating the impact of cultural factors on security practices, and assessing the efficacy of interventions.
