What motivates users to adopt cybersecurity practices? A survey experiment assessing protection motivation theory
Research Summary A 2 × 2 × 3 fully crossed factorial experiment is used to examine the linkages between key dimensions of protection motivation theory (PMT; perceived severity of risk, vulnerability to risk, and response costs) and the intentions to adopt information technology (IT) cybersecurity recommendations after being informed of degrees of risk in the vignettes. Data in this study consist of a nationwide sample of 720 American adults. Resu…

While the actual impact of digital piracy is nearly impossible to precisely calculate, the threat of financial …
