Vaibhav Garg, Risk perception of information security risks online
Perceived risk is informed by a myriad of affectiveassessments, nine of which have been examined rigorously for offlinerisk decisions. Is the risk voluntarily taken? Is the impact of therisk immediate or delayed? Does the individual understand theimplications of the risk? What is the perceived effectiveness ofexpert systems/judgments? Does the risk appear controllable? Is therisk new or old? Is it commonly encountered or rarely available? Doesit impact individuals or communities? How severe are the consequencesof risk taking behavior? This research examines how these ninedimensions inform perceived risk and decision-making online. Further,I examine how the determinants of perceived risk are impinged bycontext and individual awareness. About the speaker: Vaibhav Garg is a final year doctoral candidate at the School ofInformatics and Computing (SOIC), Indiana University, Bloomington(IUB). His research agenda has two core areas. The first focuses onindividual decision-making and leverages social psychology andbehavioral economics. While his focus has been security and privacydecisions online, the research has design implications in otherdomains such as health decisions. Secondly, his research examinescyber crime, both organized and individual, through theoreticalmacroeconomics as well as macro econometrics with both situated in arich tradition of criminology. This informs the design of both publicpolicy and technical systems, by regarding online decisions assituated in community norms.
