AB - New technologies such as the Internet have not only radically changed the means by which one communicates, conducts business, and engages in recreation, but have also brought new avenues for criminal pursuits and new forms of victimization. Media and government reports suggested a notable increase in cyber crimes, with significant losses attributed to Internet fraud. As a relatively new form of crime, the effects of internet crime and fraud are often discussed in terms of financial losses as well as indirect effects of Internet crime and fraud to younger generation. The purpose of this research is to identify the determinants of planned behavior of college students, toward information security and private information protection. A survey methodology was used to investigate a proposed model of influence, and a structural equations modeling approach was used to analyze the results. The hypothesized model was largely supported by this analysis, and the overall results indicate that the intention to actively participate in private information protection is mostly influenced by the fear for cyber crime and the perceived usefulness of information protection activity as well as perceived level of mistrust. In addition, it was found that the prior experience with information leaking and perceived level of anonymity are statistically significant to the level of perceived level of mistrust and fear for crime. Other results and useful suggestions for promoting information protection in cyberspace are also presented.
