Smart home systems for safety and security are in high demand and always needed for many reasons including people’s desire to feel safe in their own houses and to avoid a high rate of crime. In the current research, we investigate the role of individuals’ motivational orientation to prevention in their responses to smart home systems for safety and security. That is, this research examines whether individuals’ attitudes toward smart home systems for safety and security vary depending on their level of prevention orientation. Specifically, it is hypothesized that individuals with strong (vs. weak) prevention orientation will have more positive attitudes toward smart home systems for safety and security. In support of the hypothesis, the results indicate that respondents in the strong (vs. weak) prevention orientation reported significantly more positive attitudes toward smart home systems for safety and security. Our findings imply that individuals’ motivational orientation to prevention may be an effective marketing and segmentation tool in facilitating their favorable responses to the smart home systems for safety and security.
