ABSTRACT

A between-subjects experiment was conducted to explore how users manage their privacy when the Internet of Things (IoT) provides either user-tailored or system-tailored services. The results indicated that users created multiple privacy boundaries to contain highly private information in the innermost boundary and less sensitive information in the outer boundaries. The results also revealed a significant interaction between the tailoring type and power usage for predicting the degree to which users expanded their selves to IoT. A moderated mediation test showed that power usage and tailoring type interact on disclosure intention of highly sensitive information when mediated by self-expansion.

摘要

进行了一项主题间实验，以探索物联网（IoT）提供用户量身定制或系统量身定制的服务时用户如何管理其隐私。结果表明，用户创建了多个隐私边界，以在最内部的边界中包含高度私有的信息，在外部边界中包含较不敏感的信息。结果还显示，定制类型和功耗之间存在显着的交互作用，以预测用户将自己扩展到IoT的程度。适度调解测试显示，当通过自我扩展进行调解时，功耗和定制类型会与高度敏感信息的公开意图发生交互作用。
