On Gender Specific Perception of Data Sharing in Japan

Abstract

Part 4: Phishing and Data SharingInternational audiencePrivacy and its protection is an important part of the culture in the USA and Europe. Literature in this field lacks empirical data from Japan. Thus, it is difficult– especially for foreign researchers – to understand the situation in Japan. To get a deeper understanding we examined the perception of a topic that is closely related to privacy: the perceived benefits of sharing data and the willingness to share in respect to the benefits for oneself, others and companies. We found a significant impact of the gender to each of the six analysed constructs

Privacy Concerns and Behavior of Pokémon Go Players in Germany

“…Gender differences in privacy concerns were also shown to be prevalent in past literature (e.g. [37,45]). For the age differences, the results indicate that relatively older players of Pokémon Go are more concerned.…”

“…Fair means in this context that these processes "provide individuals with control over the disclosure and subsequent use of their personal information". Differences in privacy behavior with regard to demographics [10,11,37,45] and cultural differences [14] are investigated in previous literature as well. But it is shown that the majority of literature focuses on student samples based in the United States [6].…”

Influencing Factors on Consumers’ Willingness to Share Energy Data on Online Energy Platforms

“…On the other hand, the "willingness for a collective added value" addresses the benefits or services from sharing one's own energy data for others. Both scales were adapted from Tschersich et al (2016). The questionnaire also included items to measure "privacy concerns", for which items were used from Lee et al (2019).…”

“…In the context of energy consumption, the perceived collective benefit is to contribute to energy efficiency at the system level and to create sustainable value by sharing energy data that reduces information asymmetry regarding resource allocation in a smart grid (Jetzek et al, 2014). Tschersich et al (2016) examined the difference between personal benefits for users themselves and collective benefits for others in the context of data sharing. In their study, the willingness to share data is highest if personal benefits are provided in return.…”
