Abstract

In this paper, the security behaviors and attitudes related with the personal information of teenagers were investigated using empirical data based on rational behavior theory and protection motivation theory. An experiment for teenagers was conducted on Excel and the statistical packages (i.e., SPSS 21.0 and SmartPLS2.0.M3) to see how self-efficiency, security attitude, security intention and individual innovation affect their security behaviors. The experimental results showed that the security behaviors and attitudes of teenagers between internet and information devices are closely related, and the social influences can affect personal self-efficacy and security attitudes. Finally, we can know that teenagers should recognize the importance of security and protect their personal information safely through continuous education and training so that they can be linked to security behaviors.

본 논문은 인터넷을 사용하면서 심각해지는 개인정보위험에 대해 청소년들의 개인정보와 관련된 태도와 보안행동을 합리적 행동이론과 보호동기이론을 바탕으로 실증적인 데이터를 이용하여 알아보았다. 인터넷 등을 사용하면서 개인정보위험에 대한 개인의 보안행동을 알아보기 위해 사회적 영향요인으로 주관적 규범과 개인적인 특성인 자기 효능감과 보안 태도, 보안의도, 개인혁신성이 보안 행동에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 청소년을 대상으로 확인하였다. 통계 패키지인 엑셀, SPSS 21.0과 SmartPLS2.0.M3를 통해 실증연구를 진행하였다. 연구결과는 정보기기와 인터넷을 사용하는 청소년들의 보안태도와 행동이 밀접하게 관련되어 있고, 청소년에게 영향을 미치는 사회적 영향인 주관적 규범과 개인적 성향인 자기효능감, 보안태도는 보안행동에 큰 영향을 미치고 있음을 연구결과를 통해 알 수 있었다. 청소년들이 새로운 기술을 사용하고 접하는 과정에서 보안의 중요성을 알고 보안행동으로 연결될 수 있도록 지속적인 교육을 통해 안전하게 개인정보를 지켜나갈 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.
