Popis: This dataset reports the responses to a survey designed for investigating the relationship that humans have with their smart devices. The dataset was collected between May and July 2020 and is a sample of over 500 respondents of various ethnicities and backgrounds. These data were used for modeling the ways that people relate to their devices using the notion of agency. However, the data can be used for complementing any study that intends to investigate a tool-mediated communication from the perspective of users, applying a variety of beliefs, attitudes, and expectations that users have in relation to their devices and themselves. This article presents the survey items as well as some preliminary data insights. The collected data were in English and the responses were anonymized to ensure GDPR compliance. The data were stored in a .csv file containing the respondents’ answers to the questions.
