EAGER: SaTC: Collaborative: Addressing Social Media-Related Cybersecurity and Privacy Risks with Experiential Learning Interventions

这项工作的目标是创建和评估体验式学习干预措施，以解决大规模的隐私和网络安全风险，特别是围绕具有特殊隐私和安全需求的人群。这些体验式学习干预措施将提供教学内容和各种社交媒体环境的可定制、逼真的模拟，以进行实践;作为社交媒体试驾倡议的一部分，已经开发了一个开发这些干预措施的初始平台，沿着一小部分针对普通中学受众的试点干预措施。在这些资源的基础上，该项目的第一个主要目标是确定试点干预措施对其效果较差的青年分组，然后针对这些分组的独特需要和特点制定这些干预措施的版本。这将通过整合包容性隐私研究和背景调查的方法来实现，这两种方法都旨在深入了解更大人群中的子群体。第二个主要目标是探索在整个生命周期中基于体验式学习的干预措施的潜力，通过与老年人进行形成性工作，以确定他们的特定隐私需求和关注点，并制定适合这些需求的干预措施。第三个主要目标是加强该平台的内容创建和数据收集能力，以使其更广泛地用于基于社交媒体模拟的干预措施。这些活动共同扩大了基于模拟的隐私和安全教育干预研究的质量、范围和影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The goal of this work is to create and evaluate experiential learning interventions to address privacy and cybersecurity risks at scale, particularly around populations with special privacy and security needs. These experiential learning interventions will provide both instructional content and customizable, realistic simulations of various social media environments in which to practice it; an initial platform for developing these interventions, along with a small set of pilot interventions aimed at general middle school audiences, have already been developed as part of the Social Media TestDrive initiative. Building on those resources, the first main aim of the project is to identify youth subgroups for whom the pilot interventions are less effective, then develop versions of those interventions targeted to the unique needs and characteristics of those subgroups. This will be done by integrating methods from inclusive privacy research and contextual inquiry, both of which aim to develop deep understanding of subgroups in a larger population. The second main aim is to explore the potential for experiential learning-based interventions across the lifespan, through doing formative work with older adults to identify their particular privacy needs and concerns and developing an intervention suited to those needs. The third main aim is to enhance the platform’s content creation and data collection capabilities, in order to make it more widely available for social media simulation-based interventions. Together, these activities expand the quality, scope, and impact of research around simulation-based educational interventions for privacy and security.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
