“我感到被侵犯、烦躁、焦虑，我可能会保护自己”：不同性别和国家的个体对网络追踪的感受及其保护行为
"I feel invaded, annoyed, anxious and I may protect myself": Individuals' Feelings about Online Tracking and their Protective Behaviour across Gender and Country
AI总结：
该研究通过对英、德、法614名用户的在线调查发现，对网络追踪的负面情绪（如被侵犯感、烦躁焦虑）可预测保护行为，同时存在隐私性别差距及国家间差异，为隐私威胁的情感评估研究提供了新见解。
摘要：
网络追踪是互联网用户的主要担忧，但此前的研究尚未发现对追踪的认知理解与保护行为之间存在明确关联。我们假设保护行为源于对追踪的情感评估。我们开展了一项在线研究，共有来自英国、德国和法国的614名参与者参与，旨在调查用户对第三方追踪的感受以及他们采取的保护行为。我们发现，大多数参与者对追踪的感受是负面的，认为其具有深度侵入性——超出了信息领域，包括烦躁和焦虑等感受，这些感受能够预测保护行为。我们还观察到“隐私性别差距”的迹象：与男性相比，女性对追踪的感受更负面，但采取保护行为的可能性更低。此外，与德国和法国的个体相比，报告负面感受和采取保护行为的英国个体更少。本文为隐私威胁的情感评估及其如何预测保护行为提供了见解，还讨论了这些发现对各利益相关方的启示，提出了建议并概述了未来工作方向。
英文摘要：
Online tracking is a primary concern for Internet users, yet previous research has not found a clear link between the cognitive understanding of tracking and protective actions. We postulate that protective behaviour follows affective evaluation of tracking. We conducted an online study, with N=614 participants, across the UK, Germany and France, to investigate how users feel about third-party tracking and what protective actions they take. We found that most participants' feelings about tracking were negative, described as deeply intrusive - beyond the informational sphere, including feelings of annoyance and anxiety, that predict protective actions. We also observed indications of a `privacy gender gap', where women feel more negatively about tracking, yet are less likely to take protective actions, compared to men. And less UK individuals report negative feelings and protective actions, compared to those from Germany and France. This paper contributes insights into the affective evaluation of privacy threats and how it predicts protective behaviour. It also provides a discussion on the implications of these findings for various stakeholders, make recommendations and outline avenues for future work.
