초록

This study investigates the relationship between controllability, severity, unrealistic optimism and risk perception of risk factors related to location - based SNS services for smartphone users. For this purpose, I surveyed university students who had experience using location - based SNS service. The main results are as follows. First, controllability has a statistically significant effect on unrealistic optimism. Second, Severity had a statistically significant negative impact on unrealistic optimism. Third, Controllability did not have a statistically significant effect on risk perception, Fourth, Severity did not have a statistically significant effect on perceived risk. Fifth, Unrealistic optimism had a statistically significant negative impact on perception of risk. The results of this study will contribute to the prevention of privacy incidents and the protection of smartphone users by using location - based SNS service. On the one hand, future research will need to look at the relationship between unrealistic optimism and risk prevention or coping behavior.

본 연구는 스마트폰 이용자들을 대상으로 위치기반 SNS 서비스 관련 위험요소에 대한 통제성과 심각성, 비현실적 낙관주의 및 위험인식의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 위치기반 SNS 서비스 이용 경험이 있는 대학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 주요 결과를 중심으로 논의하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 통제성의 비현실적 낙관주의에 대한 검증력은 통계적으로 유의하였다. 둘째, 심각성의 비현실적 낙관주의에 대한 검증력은 통계적으로 유의하였다. 셋째, 통제성의 위험인식에 대한 검증력은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 넷째, 심각성의 위험인식에 대한 검증력은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 다섯째, 비현실적 낙관주의의 위험인식에 대한 검증력은 통계적으로 유의하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 스마트폰 사용자들의 위치기반 SNS 서비스 이용에 따른 프라이버시 침해 가능성에 대한 사전예방과 보호행위를 높이는데 기여할 것이다. 헌편, 향후 후속연구에서는 비현실적 낙관주의와 위험예방이나 대처행동의 관계를 살펴볼 필요가 있을 것이다.
