This project deploys interdisciplinary research from the social sciences (primarily social psychology and cyber behaviour) to further develop a human factors approach to the understanding of cyber security behaviours, both within the workplace and home environments. The focus of the work is on both cyber security communications and behaviour, and will include the examination of methods for behavioural change. Both qualitative and quantitative psychological research methods with be employed in this research, such as the use of focus groups and questionnaires. These research methods will allow for both exploratory investigations in this field, and for more experimental testing of theory and hypotheses. The findings and outputs of this human factors research will have applications to the design of cyber security policy, cyber security awareness campaigns and training tools, and to the design of interfaces for security software.

该项目部署了来自社会科学（主要是社会心理学和网络行为）的跨学科研究，以进一步发展一种人为因素的方法来理解工作场所和家庭环境中的网络安全行为。这项工作的重点是网络安全通信和行为，并将包括对行为改变方法的研究。本研究采用了定性和定量的心理学研究方法，如焦点小组和问卷调查的使用。这些研究方法将允许在这一领域进行探索性调查，并对理论和假设进行更多的实验测试。这项人为因素研究的结果和成果将应用于网络安全政策的设计、网络安全意识运动和培训工具，以及安全软件界面的设计。
