已知的年龄差异与信息和通信技术(信通技术)的使用、态度、获取和识字有关。对于与网络安全风险和相关网络安全行为有关的年龄差异，人们知之甚少。通过在线调查，这项研究分析了579名参与者的数据，以调查四种关键网络安全行为的年龄差异：设备安全、密码生成、主动检查和软件更新。发现了显著的年龄差异；然而，这并不是一种直接的关系。与年轻用户相比，年龄较大的用户似乎不太可能保护他们的设备；然而，其他行为则相反，年龄较大的用户似乎更有可能生成安全密码，表现出主动的风险意识，并定期安装更新。性别并不是安全行为的显著预测因素(尽管男性在自我报告的电脑自我效能感和一般韧性方面得分更高)。自我效能感被认为是年龄和三种网络安全行为(密码生成、主动检查和更新)之间的中介变量。一般弹性也是设备安全、密码生成和更新的重要中介；然而，弹性充当了主动检查的调节变量。这些调查结果的影响有两方面：第一，帮助指导针对不同网络安全行为的培训和干预措施的制定；第二，为网络安全政策的制定提供信息。
Known age differences exist in relation to information and communication technology (ICT) use, attitudes, access, and literacy. Less is known about age differences in relation to cybersecurity risks and associated cybersecurity behaviours. Using an online survey, this study analyses data from 579 participants to investigate age differences across four key cybersecurity behaviours: device securement, password generation, proactive checking, and software updating. Significant age differences were found; however, this is not a straightforward relationship. Older users appear less likely to secure their devices compared to younger users; however, the reverse was found for the other behaviours, with older users appearing more likely to generate secure passwords and show proactive risk awareness and regularly install updates. Gender was not a significant predictor of security behaviour (although males scored higher for self‐reported computer self‐efficacy and general resilience). Self‐efficacy was identified as a mediator between age and three of the cybersecurity behaviours (password generation, proactive checking, and updating). General resilience was also a significant mediator for device securement, password generation, and updating; however, resilience acted as a moderator for proactive checking. Implications of these findings are twofold: firstly, helping to guide the development of training and interventions tailored to different cybersecurity behaviours and secondly informing cybersecurity policy development.
