ABSTRACT

The Internet-assisted communication transforms conventional information systems into vast human interactive networks, and offers people opportunities to experience new forms of social contacts, without any real social presence. Because of this anonymity of Internet users, they have a strong tendency to behave in an unrestricted manner. This experience is do stimulating, rewarding and reinforcing that some user find it hard to know when to stop. These behaviors frequently go over the fun, and are developed into the crimes. To reduce these side-effects, various computer security solution and laws have been introduced. However, the most important factor in reducing the Internet side-effects is individual user’s ethics. This research proposes a Cyber Ethics Evaluation Model to measure the ethics of Internet users and compares cyber ethics of South Korea, U.S.A, and India by using the model. It conduct Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to test the validation of the model.
