Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Understanding users' individual differences may provide clues to help identify computer users who are prone to act insecurely.We examine factors that impact users' reported security behaviour with respect to some common computer security issues.We conducted two online surveys with a total of 650 participants to investigate the relationship between self-reported security behaviour and users' knowledge, motivation, confidence, risk propensity, and sex-typed characteristics.We found that all of these factors had an impact on security behaviour; however, knowledge was the most important.We provide recommendations relating to understanding participants' individual differences as a way to identify users at risk of behaving in an insecure manner.Further, we suggest that deeper understanding of the relationships between personality characteristics and security behaviour can provide researchers with tools to more comprehensively interpret their data.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
