  • personality traits and information Privacy Concern on social media platforms
    Journal of Computer Information Systems, 2015
    Co-Authors: Babajide Osatuyi

  • is lurking an anxiety masking strategy on social media sites the effects of lurking and computer anxiety on explaining information Privacy Concern on social media platforms
    Computers in Human Behavior, 2015
    Co-Authors: Babajide Osatuyi
    Abstract:

    As users' lurking tendency increases their CFSMIP (Concern for social media information Privacy) decreases.As users' computer anxiety increases, their tendency to lurk increases.As users' computer anxiety increases, their CFSMIP increases.CFSMIP mediated the relationship between lurking and behavioral intentions.CFSMIP mediated the relationship between computer anxiety and behavioral intentions. The aggressive collection and tracking of personal information on social media continues to raise information Privacy Concerns, which is gaining the interest of lawmakers, organizations, researchers, and consumers. While information Privacy research is mature and extensive, research on information Privacy Concern in the social media context is lacking. To contribute to the literature, this article presents findings from a study conducted to explain social media users' Concern for information Privacy (CFSMIP). Using social penetration theory, this study explores the role of lurking, a common social media participation strategy, and computer anxiety in explaining CFSMIP. Drawing on a sample of 250 avid social media users, covariance based structural equation modeling analysis revealed a strong relationship between both lurking and computer anxiety and CFSMIP. Consistent with prior research, CFSMIP mediated the relationship between both lurking and computer anxiety and users' future intentions to provide their personal information to online merchants. Insights from the research findings for theory and practice are discussed.

  • consumer online Privacy Concerns and responses a power responsibility equilibrium perspective
    Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, 2007
    Co-Authors: May O. Lwin, Jochen Wirtz, Jerome D Williams
    Abstract:

    We use the Power-Responsibility Equilibrium (PRE) framework and advance that consumers balance perceived deficits in Privacy protection by power holders (businesses and regulators) with defensive actions. In our model, consumer Privacy Concern is the endogenous mediating entity linking business policy and regulatory perceptions to negative online user responses. The model was empirically tested and confirmed in an experimental setting. In a second study, we added the nature of consumer information involved into a sub-model. Here, we investi- gated the moderating role of information sensitivity and congruency on the business policy-Concern relationship across three industry contexts. Both hypothesized two-way interactions were confirmed, suggesting that a strong business policy is effective in reducing Concern when low sensitivity data are gathered, but insufficient in reducing Concern for highly sensitive data. Furthermore, Concern increased dramatically when sensitive data were collected that were incongruent with the business context.

  • measuring self disclosure online
    Computers in Human Behavior, 2008
    Co-Authors: Adam Joinson, Carina Paine, Thomas A Buchanan, Ulfdietrich Reips
    Abstract:

    People are increasingly required to disclose personal information to computer- and Internet-based systems in order to register, identify themselves or simply for the system to work as designed. In the present paper, we outline two different methods to easily measure people's behavioral self-disclosure to web-based forms. The first, the use of an 'I prefer not to say' option to sensitive questions is shown to be responsive to the manipulation of level of Privacy Concern by increasing the salience of Privacy issues, and to experimental manipulations of Privacy. The second, blurring or increased ambiguity was used primarily by males in response to an income question in a high Privacy condition. Implications for the study of self-disclosure in human-computer interaction and web-based research are discussed.

  • development of measures of online Privacy Concern and protection for use on the internet
    Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2007
    Co-Authors: Thomas A Buchanan, Adam Joinson, Carina Paine, Ulfdietrich Reips
    Abstract:

    As the Internet grows in importance, Concerns about online Privacy have arisen. The authors describe the development and validation of three short Internet-administered scales measuring Privacy-related attitudes (Privacy Concern) and behaviors (General Caution and Technical Protection). In Study 1, 515 people completed an 82-item questionnaire from which the three scales were derived. In Study 2, scale validity was examined by comparing scores of individuals drawn from groups considered likely to differ in Privacy-protective behaviors. In Study 3, correlations between the scores on the current scales and two established measures of Privacy Concern were examined. The authors conclude that these scales are reliable and valid instruments suitable for administration via the Internet, and present them for use in online Privacy research. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

  • a power responsibility equilibrium framework for fairness understanding consumers implicit Privacy Concerns for location based services
    Journal of Business Research, 2017
    Co-Authors: Anjala S Krishen, Robyn L Raschke, Angeline G Close, Pushkin Kachroo
    Abstract:

    Location-based services rely on geospatial technologies that involve data that offer information of a prosocial nature – such as a nearby highway closure. The objective of this mixed method research is to examine consumers' Concerns about Privacy and fairness that pertain to these services. The basis for this research is the theory on the power-responsibility equilibrium. Study 1 qualitatively examines 332 comments; Study 2 uses a quantitative structural equation model with a sample of 291 non-students. Our findings indicate that fairness perceptions of Privacy-related policies are enhanced when a consumer has a higher internal locus of control, higher attitude toward the communication, and lower level of Privacy Concern.
