Can you try that again using

if (isset($userSetting)) {

In my case that value is boolean so testing it as is above doesn't fit my code logic.

I would be glad to learn from you more about it if you have can confirm my concern.

NB. So far I solved it using what I mentioned above

$userSettingsArray = $user->getSettings()

this method return an array of ONLY the user settings and empty array if nothing.

isset() will always return true after the getObject() call since the variable will be set, so it's really no use to you. getObject() will return null if the object is not found, so you should be able to use any of these:

if ($userSetting !== null) {
   /* No User Setting */
}

if ($userSetting === null) {
   /* User setting exists, but might be empty */
}

if ($userSetting !== null && (!empty($userSetting))) {
   /* User setting exists, and is not empty */
}

In no case would you ever get a Context or System Setting and they're existence would have no effect when getting the modUserSetting object directly.
