Affect, cognition and reward: Predictors of privacy protection online

Online privacy concerns: A broad approach to understanding the concerns of different groups for different uses

“…Internet banking experiences have proven to affect people's level of concern, and people who are anxious about fraud and identity theft are quite reluctant to use internet bank services (Lee, 2009). People who frequently use social network sites and who update detailed profiles in digital networks have tended to be more risk averse when revealing personal information than have people who have more limited profiles (Fogel & Nehmad, 2009;Lewis et al, 2008;Paine et al, 2007;Park et al, 2012;Trepte et al, 2013;Youn, 2009).…”

“…Perspectives on users' concern for privacy online Several dimensions of factors have implications on how people perceive misuse of personal information in digital environments. The following have proven to affect overall privacy concerns: personal experiences of internet use and areas of the internet (Fogel & Nehmad, 2009;Jensen, Potts, & Jensen, 2005;Lee, 2009;Lewis et al, 2008;Miyazaki & Fernandez, 2001;Paine, Reips, Stieger, Joinson, & Buchanan, 2007;Park et al, 2012;Trepte, Dienlin, & Reinecke, 2013;Yao, Rice, & Wallis, 2007;Youn, 2009); socio-demographic factors (Blank et al, 2014;Fogel & Nehmad, 2009;Jensen et al, 2005;Lewis et al, 2008;Marwick & boyd, 2014;O'Neil, 2001;Rainie et al, 2013;Taddicken, 2013;Yao et al, 2007;Youn, 2009); trust in institutions and in other people (Chellappa & Sin, 2005;Jarvenpaa, Tractinsky, & Saarinen, 1999;Macneil, 1974;Metzger, 2004;Okazaki et al, 2009;Park et al, 2012); and political orientation and ideology (Acquisti & Grossklags, 2004;Bjereld & Oscarsson, 2009;Fuchs, 2013;Yao et al, 2007;Rykkja, Laegreid, & Fimreite, 2011). These factors are included in the conducted study and will be elaborated upon hereafter, whereas external conditions such as business policies (Malhotra, Kim, & Agarwal, 2004;Schoenbachler & Gorden, 2002;Wirtz, Lwin, & Will...…”

“…In another dimension, people who are generally anxious also have been more motivated to protect personal information (Park et al, 2012). Trust has proven to be one of the most important factors influencing privacy concerns (Metzger, 2004).…”

“…To many people, these kinds of benefits can be of great value and thus lead to their reluctantly disregarding security settings or attention to digital footprints, willingly giving up their privacy for consumer convenience and other benefits. This privacy paradox is often a personal decision based on a cost-benefit analysis (Park, Campbell, & Kwak, 2012;Preibusch, 2013;Trepte & Reinecke, 2011;Woo, 2006;Youn, 2009).…”

Is It Harmful? Re-examining Privacy Concerns

“…The relationship between privacy concerns and protection is unclear. There is some research claiming, that such relationship exists, however, the correlations are low and people less concerned about privacy use more of protective measures [3,37].…”
