TLDR
This work test the hypothesis that increasing individuals’ perceived control over the release and access of private information will increase their willingness to disclose sensitive information, and highlights how technologies designed to protect people can end up exacerbating the risks they face.Abstract:
We test the hypothesis that increasing individuals’ perceived control over the release and access of private information—even information that allows them to be personally identified––will increase their willingness to disclose sensitive information. If their willingness to divulge increases sufficiently, such an increase in control can, paradoxically, end up leaving them more vulnerable. Our findings highlight how, if people respond in a sufficiently offsetting fashion, technologies designed to protect them can end up exacerbating the risks they face.read more

Privacy and human behavior in the age of information
TL;DR: This Review summarizes and draws connections between diverse streams of empirical research on privacy behavior: people’s uncertainty about the consequences of privacy-related behaviors and their own preferences over those consequences; the context-dependence of people's concern about privacy; and the degree to which privacy concerns are malleable—manipulable by commercial and governmental interests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Privacy attitudes and privacy behaviour
TL;DR: The results of a review of research literature on the privacy paradox are presented and it is suggested that future studies should use evidence of actual behaviour rather than self-reported behaviour, and call for synthetic studies to be based on comprehensive theoretical models that take into account the diversity of personal information and the Diversity of privacy concerns.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Economics of Privacy
TL;DR: The authors summarizes and draws connections among diverse streams of theoretical and empirical research on the economics of privacy, focusing on the economic value and consequences of protecting and disclosing personal information, and on consumers' understanding and decisions regarding the tradeoffs associated with the privacy and the sharing of personal data.

Social Networks, Personalized Advertising, and Privacy Controls
TL;DR: In this article, a randomized field experiment was conducted to investigate how Internet users' perceptions of control over their personal information affect how likely they are to click on online advertising on a social networking website.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of data privacy in marketing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine theoretical perspectives and empirical findings about data and information privacy grouped according to privacy's role in society, the psychology of privacy, and the economics of privacy.

Prospect theory: an analysis of decision under risk
Daniel Kahneman,Amos Tversky +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a critique of expected utility theory as a descriptive model of decision making under risk, and develop an alternative model, called prospect theory, in which value is assigned to gains and losses rather than to final assets and in which probabilities are replaced by decision weights.

Asymptotic and resampling strategies for assessing and comparing indirect effects in multiple mediator models
TL;DR: An overview of simple and multiple mediation is provided and three approaches that can be used to investigate indirect processes, as well as methods for contrasting two or more mediators within a single model are explored.

Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models
Kung Yee Liang,Scott L. Zeger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.
Journal ArticleDOI
SPSS and SAS procedures for estimating indirect effects in simple mediation models.
TL;DR: It is argued the importance of directly testing the significance of indirect effects and provided SPSS and SAS macros that facilitate estimation of the indirect effect with a normal theory approach and a bootstrap approach to obtaining confidence intervals to enhance the frequency of formal mediation tests in the psychology literature.

Perception of risk.
TL;DR: This research aims to aid risk analysis and policy-making by providing a basis for understanding and anticipating public responses to hazards and improving the communication of risk information among lay people, technical experts, and decision-makers.
