Despite increased concern about the privacy threat posed by new technology and Internet, there is relatively little evidence that people's concerns translate to privacy-enhancing behaviors while online. In Study 1, measures of are collected, followed 6 weeks later a request for intrusive personal information alongside trust in requestor perceived related specific (n = 759). Participants' dispositional concerns, as well their level during interaction, predicted whether they acceded...
Abstract As the Internet grows in importance, concerns about online privacy have arisen. The authors describe development and validation of three short Internet‐administered scales measuring privacy‐related attitudes (Privacy Concern) behaviors (General Caution Technical Protection). In Study 1, 515 people completed an 82‐item questionnaire from which were derived. 2, scale validity was examined by comparing scores individuals drawn groups considered likely to differ privacy‐protective...

Abstract 'Migration and the Internet: Social Networking Diasporas' is an interdisciplinary collection that explores new emerging media technological networks—developed by individual family migrants—which help to construct transnational diasporic communities. Despite fact there increasing interest in 'migration' 'information communication technology' studies, this Special Issue of JEMS goes beyond mere description use impact technology on human mobility. It provides in-depth analysis a wide...
In a web experiment, participants were randomly assigned to two semantic differentials either made from discrete 5-point ordinal rating scales or continuous visual analogue (VASs) with 250 gradations. Respondents adjusted their ratings VASs more often maximize the precision of answers, which had beneficial effect on data quality. No side effects like differences in means, higher dropout, nonresponse, response times observed. Overall, combination and results number advantages. Potential for...
The increasingly widespread use of mobile phone applications (apps) as research tools and cost-effective means vast data collection raises new methodological challenges. In recent years, it has become a common practice for scientists to design apps that run only on single operating system, thereby excluding large numbers users who different system. However, empirical evidence investigating any selection biases might result thereof is scarce. Henceforth, we conducted two studies drawing from...
The Google Books Ngram Viewer (Google Ngram) is a search engine that charts word frequencies from large corpus of books and thereby allows for the examination cultural change as it reflected in books. While tool's massive data (about 8 million or 6% all ever published) has been used various scientific studies, concerns about accuracy results have simultaneously emerged. This paper reviews literature serves guideline improving studies by suggesting five methodological procedures suited to...
Internet-based psychological experimenting is presented as a method that needs careful consideration of number issues-from potential data corruption to revealing confidential information about participants.Ten issues are grouped into five areas actions be taken when developing an Internet experiment (dos) and errors avoided (don'ts).Dos include: (a) utilizing dropout dependent variable, (b) the use detect motivational confounding, (c) placement questions for personal information, (d) using...
The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT; Frederick, 2005) is a frequently used measure of cognitive vs. intuitive reflection. It also found entertaining ‘test’ on the Internet. In large age-stratified community-based sample ( N = 2,272), we analyzed impact having already performed CRT or any similar task in past. Indeed, that 44% participants had experiences with these tasks, which was reflected higher scores (Cohen’s d 0.41). Furthermore, experienced were different from naïve regard to their...
