“…Individuals are bad at assessing risk and underestimate their vulnerability to threats (West, 2008). Crime and disaster literature alludes to this principle, where individuals are often shocked that bad things like burglary, mugging happen to them (Lejeune & Alex, 1973;Roe-Burning & Straker, 1997). The illusion of invulnerability reasoning indicates that individuals underestimate personal misfortunes and overestimate others' misfortunes, therefore not prepared to deal with threats.…”

Why don't individuals follow the best information security practices? We address an aspect of this question by focusing on one of the most common authentication methodspasswords. To promote better password habits, security experts consistently recommend the use of password managers as a best practice, but recent research shows their usage rate is low. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence the use of a password manager is important. We contribute to this cause by drawing on information security and technology adoption literature. Survey results from 120 participants with varying numbers of internet accounts yield some counterintuitive findings. As proposed, perceived severity and perceived vulnerability of password loss strongly influenced intent to use password managers. However, perceived ease of use diminished the intent to use password managers, and trust is only partially supported. Our results indicate that 'security' aspects of password managers are more important than 'usability' aspects. The implications of these findings for password management are discussed.

Invincible honor: masculine honor, perceived invulnerability, and risky decision-making

2023

Masculine honor ideology is characterized by the cultivation, maintenance, and defense of reputations for toughness, bravery, and strength. The link between masculine honor endorsement and increased risk-taking – especially an increased tolerance for and even expectation of violence - is well-established in the literature. However, little empirical research has examined what factors might explain this relationship. This study investigates perceived invulnerability, the cognitive bias that one is immune to threats, as a mediator in the relationship between masculine honor ideology and risky decision-making. Results show moderate support for this relationship’s existence. These findings elaborate on previous research between honor and specific risky decisions by demonstrating honor to instill cognitive biases in its adherents that make them more tolerant of risk, and thus more likely to decide to engage in risky behaviors. The implications of these findings for interpreting previous research, guiding future research, and pursuing specific educational and policy-based efforts are discussed.

This article discusses a new personality disorder entity, "traumatic stress personality disorder," conceptualized as a composite organization with transactional properties that mutually structure post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and personality disorders (PDs). The transactional/synergistic view of PTSD/PD comorbidity derives in part from scientific findings that PTSD's enduring biological effects are discernible in the personality of individuals 30 to 50 years or more after the overwhelming event, and from psychodynamic formulations on the development and structuring of personality defenses. An intertheoretical therapy model is also presented, and consists of multiple therapies actively integrated to meet the patient's complex post-trauma needs. This article argues for the development of theoretical, investigatory, and therapeutic measures to address PTSD/PD configurations in traumatized victims. Basically, the position espoused is that PTSD/PD should be measured as one rather than two entities, with neither component being considered as a confounding but integral factor in measurement. The eight components of traumatic stress personality disorder are discussed, along with a case study to demonstrate the model's clinical applications. The integration of cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and existential treatment approaches is geared to assist the victim to developmental progress to survivor status, and then beyond this level of integration to thriven a person whose adaptational learning in therapy created a "vital psychological immune system" that consistently protects against dissociative regression in response to the daily stresses of life. Transference, countertransference, therapists' self-care and self-monitoring are seen as integral to the treatment of traumatic stress personality disorders.
