“…The predictive value of app functionality on app installation is independent of permission design, whether the app predefines permissions (Study 1) or allows respondents to select them (Study 2). Therefore, the results of Studies 1 and 2 confirm the hypothesis that app perceived importance has a positive effect on app installation intention (H 4 ), replicating previous studies (e.g., Egelman et al, 2013;Shahidi et al, 2022).…”

“…The results from Study 1 suggest that the decision to install an app (and grant data access permissions as required) results from a trade-off between the app's functionality importance and the user's privacy concerns (e.g., Dinev and Hart, 2006;Liu et al, 2015;Shahidi et al, 2022). For our participants, when the functionality of the app was of great importance (Messaging app), there was a high intention to install itdespite high levels of concern about using smartphones, privacy security importance, and degree of discomfort over data access.…”

“…For example, while the request to share location data could be a factor that raises concerns that would decrease the intention to install a puzzle game app, the same request could not be a factor of concern for the installation of a map app. The objective of the present research is to add to a growing body of literature about how several factors interact in shaping people's decision to install different types of smartphone apps (e.g., Gu et al, 2022;Shahidi et al, 2022). The present research expands the literature by investigating how different factors (in particular, the degree of control and the degree of privacy concerns) can interact and shape psychological processes that influence the intention to install different types of smartphone applications.…”

“…Privacy calculus theory postulates that the decision to disclose personal data is a function of the discount of the expected losses from the gains promised by the decision to disclose data (Dinev and Hart, 2006), where individuals decide to provide information when potential gains surpass potential losses (producing the privacy paradox). Liu et al (2015), Gu et al (2022), andShahidi et al (2022), for example, produced evidence in favor of the privacy calculus theory by demonstrating that whether a user chooses to use an app is a result of the trade-off between the app's functionality (or usefulness) and the user's privacy concerns. However, some studies interested in decisions in the context of mobile applications have focused more on risks and not given as much attention to the relation between the degree of importance of different apps and the decision to disclose personal information (e.g., Felt et al, 2012;Egelman et al, 2013;Zafeiropoulou et al, 2013;Buck et al, 2014).…”

This research examines how various factors, such as the degree of e-privacy concerns and control over data access permissions, can influence a user's intention to install a smartphone app. We conducted two survey-based experiments with 441 participants. In each experiment, we manipulated the degree of control over the number and type of data access permissions granted to different fictional apps. In Study 1, participants were informed about the set of permissions the apps required. In Study 2, participants indicated which individual permissions they were willing to grant to the apps. In both experiments, we assessed the level of e-privacy concerns, perceived app importance, and the intention to install the apps. The results suggest that the type of app plays a central role in determining both the perceived benefit of installing the app and the level of e-privacy concerns. The intention to install an app is more strongly associated with perceived app importance than with e-privacy concerns (especially when app importance is high, and users have explicit control over which specific data access permissions they want to grant). The implications of these results are discussed regarding psychological factors involved in app installation decision-making process and the importance of promoting data protection by design.

This research details the development of the perception of being observed scale. Consumers may think that their actions are being observed (i.e., seen, watched, recorded, tracked) by other parties (i.e., companies, governments, people) regardless of the actual knowledge about the existence of it. We develop a 10‐item, uni‐dimensional perception of being observed scale. Following the assessments of the scale, we conduct a series of studies to test the scale's convergent, discriminant, nomological, and predictive validity. We show that technology anxiety, self‐consciousness and privacy concerns predict the perception of being observed. Further, people who experience the perception of being observed are more conservative in information disclosure.
