Information security ignorance: An exploration of the concept and its antecedents. Wu, A. Y., Hanus, B., Xue, B., & Mahto, R. V. Information and Management, 2023. Publisher: Elsevier B.V. Type: Article![Information security ignorance: An exploration of the concept and its antecedents [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex In this study, we propose and examine the concept of information security ignorance, which is an individual's chosen state of remaining underinformed about information security. Ignorance may be a rational choice for individuals when feeling overwhelmed by the available information. The findings of this study, based on the analysis of 319 survey responses, suggest that media and interpersonal communication influence information security ignorance. However, personal traits, including locus of control, intellectual curiosity, and computer anxiety, play a stronger role in shaping ignorance. Security ignorance was found to be positively related to the perception that the Internet is a safe place. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
