Abstract

ABSTRACT While smart meters offer an innovative way to solve energy problems, they have also brought concerns regarding consumer privacy. In this study, we develop an instrument to measure the consumers’ concerns for information privacy (CFIP) in adopting smart meters, and propose a conceptual model to examine the relationship between privacy concerns, trusting beliefs, risk beliefs, and intention to adopt smart meters. Using both focus group study and survey methods, we show that CFIP can be measured by three dimensions: collection, secondary use, and improper access, and that the effect of CFIP on behavioral intention is fully mediated by risk beliefs.

智能电表对隐私的侵犯:对消费者担忧的分析

智能电表为解决能源问题提供了一种创新的方式，但同时也带来了对消费者隐私的担忧。在本研究中，我们开发了一种测量消费者在采用智能电表时对信息隐私的关注(CFIP)的工具，并提出了一个概念模型来研究隐私关注、信任信念、风险信念和采用智能电表意愿之间的关系。采用焦点小组研究和问卷调查的方法，我们发现CFIP可以通过收集、二次使用和不正当获取三个维度进行测量，并且CFIP对行为意向的影响完全由风险信念介导。

期刊介绍： As information technology and the Internet become more and more ubiquitous and pervasive in our daily lives, there is an essential need for a more thorough understanding of information security and privacy issues and concerns. The International Journal of Information Security and Privacy (IJISP) creates and fosters a forum where research in the theory and practice of information security and privacy is advanced. IJISP publishes high quality papers dealing with a wide range of issues, ranging from technical, legal, regulatory, organizational, managerial, cultural, ethical and human aspects of information security and privacy, through a balanced mix of theoretical and empirical research articles, case studies, book reviews, tutorials, and editorials. This journal encourages submission of manuscripts that present research frameworks, methods, methodologies, theory development and validation, case studies, simulation results and analysis, technological architectures, infrastructure issues in design, and implementation and maintenance of secure and privacy preserving initiatives.
