Factors shaping privacy trade-offs in app downloads
Mobile apps not only offer numerous benefits but also entail the risk of sharing sensitive data with third parties. This research addresses which factors shape privacy trade-offs among young adults and adults when downloading apps. The investigation involved two experimental vignette studies: In Study 1 (N = 500, 79.6% women), we examined young adults, mostly university students, aged 16-29 years to assess if low and high privacy-ratings for apps…

In an online vignette study, 193 young adults were presented with Instagram chat messages from either known or unknown senders, accomp…

Previous studies introduced avatars into stimulus–response compatibility tasks and demonstrated compatibility effects as if the participant was viewing the task from the avatar’s point of view. However, the origin of this effect of perspective taking remained unclear. To distinguish changes in stimulus coding from chang…
