Yet, previous research has shown that political engagement on social media remains socially stratified, with younger, male and more educated individuals more drawn to online politics. This study builds on impression management theory to examine how the expressive and performative nature of online politics contributes to a ‘digital divide’ in political expression. We examine the role of five distinct impression management techniques in German users' political expression on Facebook. Impression management research has found that sociodemographic variables, such as age, gender and education, affect an individual's propensity for distinct impression management techniques. Thereby, examining the role of impression management contributes to our understanding of the sociodemographic stratification of online political expression. Based on a survey of 1012 Facebook users, we find that assertive impression management techniques, in particular, facilitate online political expression. However, young and male users are most likely to engage in these techniques. Political interest relates to four of the five impression management techniques, but not the most assertive technique, which strongly relates to Facebook political expression.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100795"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144926279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although many efforts are devoted to combat them, generic anti-phishing awareness and training campaigns have shown limited success. In this context, considering individuals’ personality traits in relation to phishing behaviour could significantly enhance cybersecurity defence strategies. In this article, we concentrate on personality traits and their effects on vulnerability to phishing attacks. We implement a rigorous systematic review following the methodology proposed by vom Brocke et al. (2009) along with the PRISMA statement. We searched five major databases (<em>i.e.,</em> Web of Science, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and PubMed), with an all-years’ time span from 1900 to January 2025. From the 1919 articles yielded in the initial search, 26 satisfied all criteria. Results reveal that extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism generally show a positive association with phishing vulnerability, whereas conscientiousness emerges as a protective factor. The review also highlights significant gaps in the current methodologies used to measure phishing vulnerability, noting a lack of standardised measurement tools to perform phishing experiments. Finally, this study underscores the need to develop secondary prevention strategies targeting at-risk groups to combat the increasingly sophisticated phishing threats. To enhance consistency in future research, the Appendix includes guidelines for measuring phishing vulnerability under experimental conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100784"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144903446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that high AR interactivity significantly increased both engagement and enticement. Furthermore, self-esteem was positively associated with both VPE outcomes, and engagement increased with interactivity more strongly among individuals with lower self-esteem than among those with higher self-esteem.

In contrast, assessment mode positively predicted IAD, with self-control mediating 75.37 % of this effect.

Despite their growing popularity in cybersecurity education, key acceptance factors of DEERs have not been systematically investigated. This study applies the technology acceptance model (TAM) to examine how perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use affect the intentions of target learner groups to engage with DEERs in SETA programs. A total of 217 participants, comprising trainees, students, and employees, played one randomly selected DEER from a set of three on password management, privacy and data security, and social engineering. After completion, participants evaluated the learning environment using a standardized TAM-based questionnaire. Structural equation modeling revealed that perceived usefulness was the strongest predictor of learners’ intentions to engage with DEERs. Perceived ease of use influenced engagement intention directly and indirectly by positively affecting perceived usefulness. Multigroup analysis revealed no significant differences across age, gender, professional background, or DEER scenario. These findings highlight the importance of balancing ease of use with the extent to which learners perceive the content to be meaningful, important, and relevant to their professional context in order to ensure acceptance and effective integration of DEERs into SETA programs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100785"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144893390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
