What Do Systems Users Have to Fear? Using Fear Appeals to Engender Threats and Fear that Motivate Protective Security Behaviors (2015, background): “Results for the Liang and Xue (2010) Model Using only the “High” Manipulation Study 2 Data* * As noted in the text, this is not a perfect replication as we did not use a second-order threat construct as Liang and Xue (2010)did, as this is not core to PMT.”
Understanding managers’ attitudes and behavioral intentions towards using artificial intelligence for organizational decision-making (2021, background): “, 2016), or are motivated to avoid the threats associated with using the IT or the IT itself when they perceive a threat (Liang and Xue, 2010), little is known about how to explain and predict individuals’ attitudes and behavioral intentions by considering both the benefits and dangers of the IT at ”
The Impact of Organizational Commitment on Insiders’ Motivation to Protect Organizational Information Assets (2015, methodology): “PMT has been used as the foundation for numerous previous efforts in information security [20, 40, 45, 53, 54, 102, 115].”
An Enhanced Fear Appeal Rhetorical Framework: Leveraging Threats to the Human Asset Through Sanctioning Rhetoric (2015, methodology): “On the other hand, in the information security literature, the rhetoric embedded in fear appeals is typically focused on threats to the individual's things (the information assets) (Johnston and Warkentin 2010; Liang and Xue 2010).”
Psychological and behavioral outcomes of social media-induced fear of missing out at the workplace (2021, positive): “Moreover, future scholars may also consider using other theoretical frameworks like the technology threat avoidance theory (Liang & Xue, 2009, 2010) to investigate social media users ’ coping and avoidance behavior when they experience DoSM phenomena like FoMO.”
Future directions for behavioral information security research (2013, methodology): “…to consider, because fear is an underlying driver of Rogers’ (1983) Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) that has been examined in recent studies within the Behavioral Info-Sec domain (Herath and Rao, 2009b; Iﬁnedo, 2012; Johnston and Warkentin, 2010; Liang and Xue, 2010; Posey et al., 2011c).”
Security awareness of computer users: A phishing threat avoidance perspective (2014, background): “As people’s reliance on the Internet grows, so the possibility of hacking and other security breaches increases regularly (Liang & Xue, 2010).”
