Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the impact of using mobile devices compared to computers on investors' judgments. Methodology: This research is descriptive and survey-based, utilizing quantitative methods to collect data from postgraduate and doctoral graduates in accounting and financial management in the Isfahan province. The sample size was determined using G*Power software version 3/1 and included 52 respondents divided into two subgroups: computer users (26 individuals) and mobile phone users (26 individuals). Data were collected using researcher-developed questionnaires and analysed using one-way ANOVA and the eta squared index. Findings: The results indicated that respondents in the mobile phone subgroup scored higher in judgment compared to the computer subgroup. The one-way ANOVA test revealed that the differences between the two subgroups were statistically significant (p < 0/05). Additionally, the assumptions for the ANOVA test were checked and approved, confirming that the use of computers significantly enhances investors' judgments. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the use of mobile devices has a negative and significant impact on investors' judgments compared to computers. The findings are consistent with previous studies, highlighting the crucial role of modern technologies in the decision-making processes of investors. These results can aid in developing more effective strategies for investors and financial service providers.
