物联网设备在家庭中的越来越多的采用有可能使生活变得更轻松，更方便，但它也对系统安全性提出了更大的挑战，因为一些物联网设备尚未得到充分的保护，以防止网络安全漏洞。从用户的角度了解网络安全漏洞的心理影响，有助于提高用户在使用连接到互联网的设备时的安全和健康。目前的研究是一个关于网络安全威胁对情绪影响的更大研究项目的一部分，旨在确定用户在网络安全漏洞和家中安装的物联网设备异常行为的情况下体验到的情绪过程中的个体差异。来自英国和荷兰的共1000名参与者报告了他们对涉及智能安全摄像头的网络安全漏洞场景的反应，通过表明他们对网络安全GRID问卷的反应，该问卷由73个项目组成，描述了网络安全漏洞情况下的情绪过程，分为7分反应量表。此外，参与者还填写了有关精神病理学、复原力和个性的问卷。主成分分析显示，情绪过程项目的三个组成部分的结构：一般情绪强度，做与攻击/拔取和影响与评价/行动倾向。结果，解释和情感过程中的个体间差异的影响之间的模糊（不清楚物联网设备是否发生故障或第三方控制）和明确（明显的第三方控制）网络安全漏洞的情况下，与个性，抑郁，焦虑，侵略性和韧性将被呈现。
The increasing adoption of IoT devices in households has the potential to make life easier and more convenient, but it also poses a greater challenge to system security since several IoT devices are not yet adequately protected against cybersecurity breaches. Understanding the psychological impact of cybersecurity breaches from the user’s perspective is relevant to improve the users’ safety and wellbeing when using devices connected to the Internet. The current study, part of a larger research project on the emotional impact of threats to cybersecurity, aims to identify interindividual differences in emotion processes that users experience in scenarios of a cybersecurity breach and anomalous behaviour of IoT devices installed in their homes. A total of 1000 participants from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands reported their emotion processes as a reaction to the cybersecurity breach scenarios involving the smart security camera, by indicating their reactions on the Cybersecurity GRID questionnaire, which consists of 73 items describing emotion processes in cybersecurity breach situations on a 7-point response scale. Additionally, the participants filled in questionnaires about psychopathology, resilience and personality. Principal component analysis applied on emotion process items revealed a three-component structure: GENERAL EMOTION INTENSITY, DO vs ATTACK/WITHDRAW and AFFECT VS APPRAISAL/ACTION TENDENCY. Results, interpretation and implications of inter-individual differences in emotional processes between ambiguous (unclear whether the IoT device malfunctioned or the third party took control) and unambiguous (evident that a third party took control) cybersecurity breach scenarios in relation to personality, depression, anxiety, aggression and resilience will be presented.
