我们进行了两项研究，探讨个人黑客（在互联网上操作的数字参与者）合法化的潜在因素。利用社会盗匪框架和对政治行动的研究，我们重点研究了愤怒在外部政治效能与黑客行为合法化之间的中介作用。具体来说，我们操纵了系统是否响应参与者在大学（研究 1）和在线工作平台（研究 2）中受到不公平待遇后的要求。在研究 1（N = 259）中，英国本科生了解到不公平的“评分”做法。然后他们被告知管理层要么愿意（外部政治效能高）要么不愿意（外部政治效能低）调查此事。在研究 2（N = 222）中，通过 Prolific Academy 招募了英国参与者，并向他们展示了一个描述他们的工作被不公平拒绝的场景。然后他们被告知平台管理员是否愿意或不愿意调查他们的案件。在研究中，参与者被告知黑客已经攻击了该网站。支持社会盗匪框架的结果表明，认为系统对他们的要求没有反应的个人往往会通过对系统更强烈的愤怒来使黑客的行为合法化。讨论了结果的含义和未来的方向。
We conducted two studies examining the factors underlying individuals’ legitimization of hackers (digital actors operating on the internet). Drawing on the social banditry framework, and research on political action, we focused on the mediating role of anger in the association between external political efficacy and perceived legitimization of hackers’ actions. Specifically, we manipulated whether the system was responsive to participants’ demands following unfair treatment in a university (Study 1) and in an online work platform (Study 2) context. In Study 1 (N = 259) British undergraduate students read about unfair “grading” practices. They were then informed that the management was either willing (high external political efficacy) or unwilling (low external political efficacy) to investigate the matter. In Study 2 (N = 222), British participants were recruited via Prolific Academic and were presented with a scenario describing an unfair rejection of their work. They were then informed that the platform admin was either willing or not willing to investigate their case. Across studies, participants were informed that hackers had attacked the website. Supporting the social banditry framework, results indicated that individuals who perceive the system as unresponsive to their demands tended to legitimize hackers’ actions via stronger perceived anger against the system. Implications of the results, and future directions are discussed.
