Replication: Stories as Informal Lessons about Security
summary
Replication surveys n=299 confirm Rader et al. 2012 (n=301): story characteristics that drive learning are concrete action, autobiographical, and serious threats. Original threat categories recur and two new themes appear: ransomware and data breaches. Reported behavior changes include increased caution, stronger passwords, software updates, backups, and use of antivirus, MFA and VPNs. Younger and higher educated participants show less emotional response and less change in thinking, but stories still prompt concrete security actions.
