    Is Privacy a Trait or a State? Examining Hangriness and its Influence on Individual's Privacy Perception
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Workshopband, 2023) Schmitt, Vera; Spang, Robert P.; Wardah, Wafaa; Möller, Sebastian
    Privacy can be approached from different perspectives. Within this research, the cognate-based definition of privacy is examined with respect to the influence of elemental traits of individuals, such as hungriness. Hungriness is examined in relation to privacy constructs, namely, privacy concern, privacy literacy, and trust and risk beliefs. This research investigates whether the sensation of hunger and an individual’s varying metabolic states influence our perception of privacy. Moreover, this research contributes to the ongoing debate in privacy studies by empirically examining whether privacy should be regarded as a state or a trait. A crowdsourcing study was conducted with 336 participants to examine the effects and associations between hungriness and the participant’s privacy perception. The results from the analysis show that hungriness does not affect privacy constructs, such as privacy concern and risk and trust beliefs, but has an effect on privacy literacy by significantly decreasing privacy literacy when being in the metabolic state called fed state (0-5 hours after having eaten). Overall, the results support the cognate-based definition of privacy, which suggests that privacy is more appropriately characterized as a trait rather than a transient state.

    Willingness to Pay for the Protection of Different Data Types
    (Mensch und Computer 2021 - Workshopband, 2021) Schmitt, Vera; Poikela, Maija; Möller, Sebastian
    The standard approach of Notice and Choice does not provide sufficient control over personal privacy preferences. A more granular analysis of privacy preferences is needed where the monetary valuation of different data types can contribute to the understanding of individual privacy concerns of personal information. The question of how much consumers value their privacy is still underexplored. Therefore, this study examines previous approaches of monetary valuation of different data types and analyses the monetary valuation for two different countries to verify earlier research results.
