移动的应用程序的真实的价值在很大程度上取决于消费者对其个人信息和位置数据隐私的信任。然而,研究已经产生了一些结果的基础上,实际的信息披露,更少的是基于纵向行为。本研究的目的是执行一个独特的和真实的现场实验,涉及真实的风险和消费者行为的信息披露超过移动的设备。本文比较了隐私演算和前景理论对信息披露决策的两种解释。我们的研究结果表明,消费者是最好的建模为“有限”的理性行为者关于他们的披露行为。此外,移动的应用程序上的实际信息披露行为是一个比迄今为止的研究更多方面的问题。在实践中,移动的应用程序提供商应该意识到,通过应用程序增加信息披露的好处可能会增加感知风险和减少消费者披露的反直觉效果。
The real value of mobile applications is heavily dependent on consumers' trust in the privacy of their personal information and location data. However, research has generated few results based on actual information disclosure and even less that is based on longitudinal behavior. The purpose of this study is to execute a unique and authentic field experiment involving real risks and consumer behaviors regarding information disclosure over mobile devices. We compare two theoretical explanations of disclosure decisions: privacy calculus and prospect theory. Our results indicate that consumers are best modeled as "bounded" rational actors concerning their disclosure behavior. Also, actual information disclosure behavior over mobile applications is a more multifaceted issue than research has treated it thus far. For practice, mobile application providers should be aware that increasing the benefits of information disclosure via the app may have the counterintuitive effect of increasing perceived risk and reducing consumer disclosure.
