This study employs a thematic analysis of RaaS advertisements on darknet market to discern patterns in vendor communication with potential customers. The most common theme identified was victimization, appearing in 70% of the dataset, underscoring the nature of RaaS products as instruments of criminal activity. Victimization was commonly combined with other themes to persuade users to make a purchase. These findings provide critical insights into the commodification of ransomware and reveal the strategic mechanisms employed by vendors to attract both novice and experienced cybercriminals. The growing trend of RaaS highlights the ongoing professionalization of cybercriminal activities and underscores the necessity of cross-disciplinary research in addressing network security concerns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 108571"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143155551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on interviews with 36 participants who collaborated in a three-member human–AI team, we explore human perceptions of and reactions to a human or AI teammate’s (dis)trust spread about an AI teammate, and uncover the process and impact of such spread. Our findings highlight that a trustworthy (dis)trust spreader can catalyze trust contagion within a human–AI team through various social and cognitive processes. We provide one of the first empirical investigations into specific ways through which trust or distrust can be spread within HATs and people’s perceptions of such spread.

Across 3 preregistered experiments, members of stigmatized social groups (Black Americans, women) reported higher trustworthiness of LLMs after viewing unbiased interactions with ChatGPT compared to when viewing AI-generated prejudice (i.e., racial or gender disparities in salary). Notably, higher trustworthiness accounted for increased behavioral intentions to use LLMs, but only among stigmatized social groups. Conversely, White Americans were more likely to use LLMs when AI-generated prejudice confirmed implicit racial biases, while men intended to use LLMs when responses matched implicit gender biases. Results suggest reducing AI-generated prejudice may promote trustworthiness of LLMs among members of stigmatized social groups, increasing their intentions to use AI tools. Importantly, addressing AI-generated prejudice could minimize social disparities in adoption of LLMs which might further exacerbate professional and educational disparities. Given expected integration of AI in professional and educational settings, these findings may guide equitable implementation strategies among employees and students, in addition to extending theoretical models of technology acceptance by suggesting additional mechanisms of behavioral intentions to use emerging technologies (e.g., trustworthiness).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 108563"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143155196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Latent Profile Analysis identified four distinct personality profiles based on participants' scores on the Dark Tetrad traits: manipulative narcissists (high Machiavellianism and narcissism), cold strategists (high psychopathy and moderate Machiavellianism), dominant egocentrics (high sadism and narcissism), and balanced individuals (low across all traits). Findings revealed significant differences in TFSV proclivity across profiles. Dominant egocentrics exhibited the highest levels of TFSV proclivity and its dimensions, including acceptance and enjoyment of TFSV, indicating a strong link between sadism and malicious digital behaviors. Manipulative narcissists and cold strategists demonstrated higher levels of acceptance of TFSV, reflecting tendencies toward manipulation and impulsivity. In contrast, balanced individuals reported significantly lower proclivity across all dimensions, highlighting a healthier personality profile.
