The most adolescents have become themselves perpetrators and victims unknowingly about variety illegal behaviors of the Information Ethics(IE) in the Information-oriented society. To solve the problem, in this paper, we developed the IE Behavior Prediction model through various social psychology theories. And then, we analyzed the relationship between the factors influencing about the adolescents's behavioral intention to perform the Information Ethics by using regression analysis. As a result, 'Attitudes toward the behavior', 'Subjective norms', 'Perceived behavior control', and 'Past behavior' about behavioral intention of the Information Ethics have performed positively. And also they have statically significant. Especially, 'Attitudes toward the behavior' gave the larger effect than the other 3 factors about the Information Ethics Behavior. This result would provide the useful guideline to develop the educational resources, counsel materials, and test items for Information Ethics Behavior.

Though much attention has been paid to offer various multimedia services by many online service providers, the study on consumer behavior of online information service users are yet to be further explored in various aspects. This study develops a mathematical model for analyzing online consumer's usage patterns, contrasted to the existing media selection theory and flow concept about usage behavior of information services. We demonstrated using some case examples that online information consumption can be viewed not only as a cognitive behavior interacting with online media, but also as an economically rational behavior depending on consumer's perceived cost and time spending. The results obtained in this paper will surely serve as a theoretical foundation for justifying the consumer's behavior and WTP (willingness to pay) for various online contents consumption empirically.

The purpose of this research is to understand users' information protection behavior on personal information security from health psychology theory perspectives. Empirical results indicate that users' information protection behavior on personal information is predicted by perceived threat and perceived responsiveness. Perceived threat is determined by perceived susceptibility and perceived severity. Perceived responsiveness is determined by response efficacy and self-efficacy, but response cost is not significant. These findings provide an enriched understanding about users' information protection behavior on personal information security.

Firms are raising the demand of confidential information management and are highlighting the ethical awareness of organizational members. The individuals in organization are concerned information sharing for future-oriented social networking. To prevent their immoral behavior, Firms should consider investing the information access monitoring. This system is aiming at log verification of movement, storage and deletion on information and will reduce an ethical conflict and unethical behavior on employees. I used the structural equation methodology for this empirical study. The research model constructs the voluntary and involuntary dilemma of information sharing on the two independent-variables, the unethical information behavior and the improper networking reinforcement on the two dependent-variables and the information access monitoring the one mediating-variables. This model tests the power effect of direct path, indirect path and total path. According to the study, the two ethical dilemma of information sharing provided a high influence to the unethical sharing action and to the inappropriate social networking strengthens. However, the mediating role of information access monitoring shows the effect weakens of independent and dependent variables. Thus, the mediating variables appeared to be important for the controlling role of an unethical behavior and improper social networking. Ultimately, The firms will need to invest the information access monitoring for a compulsory ethics behavior of organizational members. In addition, this can hinder networking enhancements for future opportunistic behaviors.

Information behavior played a significant role in minimizing the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic. When faced with such a situation, an individual needs information for decision-making and in order to determine the best course of action relating to their health. This study aims to explore information behavior during each phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, which is known for its close-knit collective culture. A sensemaking approach is used, which emphasizes the process individuals go through to understand their situation and give meaning to the information they are getting from their environment. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 10 participants to obtain a description of their information behaviors during the pandemic. Data analysis was carried out using open, axial, and selective coding. We propose a sensemaking-based information behavior strategy framework for mitigating risk and reducing ongoing health crises. Changes in information behavior strategies, including search, prevention, and restriction of information exposure, were random at the beginning of the pandemic, but became more regular in later phases. This was influenced by the "knowledge gap fulfillment" and "use of local knowledge" among the participants throughout the pandemic. In conclusion, the participants developed a sensemaking process including an understanding of the pandemic situation and the risks that they faced. They used a number of information behavior strategies to prevent transmission, and their perception of the risks changed across the course of the pandemic, up til the situation began to be considered back to normal again in Indonesia.
