Abstract:

Prior research suggests that fear of cancer recurrence is very common among cancer survivors. This study examined the extent to which Protection Motivation Theory variables of threat appraisal and coping appraisal accounted for differences in fear of recurrence and performance of health behaviors in cancer patients who recently completed treatment. It was hypothesized that greater fear of recurrence would be related to a combination of high threat appraisal and low coping appraisal. Also, it was hypothesized that higher rates of health behaviors would be related to higher threat appraisals for

Abstract:

Home guardianship measures provide individuals with a means to enhance and ensure the safety of themselves, their family, and their property inside their homes. However, research regarding the factors considered in the decision to employ home guardianship measures as well as the means by which individuals assess this information regarding potential threats and protective responses is limited and varied in its implementation. This study attempts to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the use of home guardianship measures with the application of a modified version of Ronald Rogers’

Abstract:

Individuals are considered the weakest link when it comes to securing a personal computer system. All the technological solutions can be in place, but if individuals do not make appropriate security protection decisions they introduce holes that technological solutions cannot protect. This study investigates what personal characteristics influence differences in individual security behaviors, defined as behaviors to protect against security threats, by adapting Protection Motivation Theory into an information security context.

Usernames and passwords form the most widely used method of user authentication on the Internet. Yet, users still find compliance with password guidelines difficult. The primary objective of this research was to investigate how compliance with password guidelines and password quality can be improved.

Abstract:

The number of flood related disasters is predicted to increase with the changing climate. How cities mitigate and prepare for the potential flooding influences the scope and extent of damage, and diminishes the risk of an event turning into a disaster. Preparation or preparedness is, therefore, seen as an important component to flood resilience in cities. This research qualitatively explored the social phenomenon of why some prepare and others do not through the application of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) in two flood-vulnerable areas of the cities of Hamburg and Dhaka: Wilhelmsburg and

Abstract:

User information security behavior has been an area of growing demand in information systems (IS) research.

With the growing reliance on mobile devices to increase the flexibility, speed and efficiency in how we work, communicate, shop, seek information and entertain ourselves, it is obvious that these devices have become data warehouses and platform for data

Abstract Employee violations of IS security policies is recognized as a key concern for organizations. Although interest in IS security has risen in recent years, little empirical research has examined this problem. To address this research gap, this dissertation identifies deliberate IS security policy violations as a phenomenon unique from other forms of computer abuse. To better understand this phenomenon, three guidelines for researching deliberate IS security violations are proposed. An analysis of previous behavioral IS security literature shows that no existing study meets more than one

This research sought to discover and recommend proactive strategies to strengthen and improve human safety and well-being in a changing climate of natural hazards. This thesis documents the rationale, process and outcomes of that research. People’s ability to navigate their daily lives within an environment of worsening natural hazards is an adaptive public health and safety priority - given the predicted global increase in frequency and severity of extreme weather events. There is an urgent need to strengthen and normalise people’s preparedness behaviour, and to connect it with an uneq

Abstract:

博士<br>國立交通大學<br>教育研究所<br>106<br>The advent of the Internet has changed people’s life revolutionarily. Second thoughts about the technology use, however, always have to run in response to the fears expressed in the context of online privacy. Among all the Internet activities, social networking sites (SNSs) offer many mechanisms for users to share personal data as well as to restrict the access to the disclosure. However, underage students (in the current study, aged 18 or below) are often not mature enough to be aware of online risks as well as safeguards. Facebook, being prominent SNS for the

Abstract:

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>The Hunter Region of New South Wales has high levels of heart disease risk factors; its population has one of the highest rates of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Australia. This thesis sought to gain an understanding of the thought process involved in achieving desired change in risk factor behaviour among samples of this regions' residents. The research had two main aims: 1. To develop valid and reliable instruments to measure people's motivation to take protection against CHD; and, 2. To test the Protection Motivation Theoretical Model with

Abstract:

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Flooding is a nightmare in many parts of the world, with the poor and vulnerable usually the worst affected. Extensive flood risks are a significant concern in many countries, including Ghana, where localised annual flooding is common in urban areas. There is concern that climate change will increase the intensity of precipitation, with resultant flooding affecting vulnerable populations, especially those in informal settlements in developing countries. Households in the informal settlements have habitually adopted coping measures to deal with

Abstract:

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>The health behaviour literature is currently littered with theoretical models offering competing accounts of the determinants of health behaviour. However, despite the large amount of research there is still no consensus regarding which model/s are the most useful and accurate. A reason for this is that there are few studies comparing these models for their effectiveness in explaining health behaviour. One method of determining which health behaviour models are superior is directly comparing models for accuracy. Another method of improving the

Abstract:

Information security research shows that employees are a source of some of the security incidents in the organisation. This often results from failure to comply with the Information Security Policies (ISPs). The question is, therefore, how to improve information security behaviour of employees so that it complies with the ISPs. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of information security behaviour, especially how it can be improved, from an intrinsic motivation perspective. A review of the literature suggested that research in information security behaviour is still predominantl

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to identify factors affecting facility-based delivery with the purpose of developing a framework for the promotion of facility-based delivery among women living in rural Ethiopia. Explanatory mixed methods design, comprising of four phases-the descriptive (quantitative), explorative (qualitative), meta-inference and development phases was employed. The quantitative phase was conducted first using a structured questionnaire to identify the variables influencing facility-based delivery care seeking behaviour. A sample of 389 responses were used for data analysis using S
