A 2 × 2 × 3 fully crossed factorial experiment is used to examine the linkages between key dimensions of protection motivation theory (PMT; perceived severity of risk, vulnerability to risk, and response costs) and the intentions to adopt information technology (IT) cybersecurity recommendations after being informed of degrees of risk in the vignettes. Data in this study consist of a nationwide sample of 720 American adults. Results from a series of fractional logistic regressions indicate support for many of the core mechanisms within PMT. Seventy percent of respondents indicated they were likely to follow IT recommendations to mitigate a cyber threat. Self-efficacy and response costs affected intentions to do so.

是什么促使用户采用网络安全实践？评估保护动机理论的调查实验

使用 2 × 2 × 3 完全交叉因子实验来检验保护动机理论（PMT；感知风险严重性、风险脆弱性和响应成本）的关键维度与采用信息技术 (IT) 网络安全的意图之间的联系在得知小插图中的风险程度后提出建议。这项研究的数据由 720 名美国成年人组成的全国样本组成。一系列分数逻辑回归的结果表明对 PMT 内许多核心机制的支持。70% 的受访者表示他们可能会遵循 IT 建议来减轻网络威胁。自我效能和反应成本影响这样做的意图。
