| Description |
Threats and Threat Perception have been studied and applied to health related risks first by Rogers DW in 1975 in his Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). This was enhanced and generalized when it was published in 1997, and later again in 2005. This theory has since served as a theoretical foundation for many studies in information security in the organizational context. Threat perceptions have changed and we need to redefine fear that forms the basis for the cognitive responses in the face of threat. Additional constructs need to be added to the Roger’s PMT model of 2005 to help understand the security behavior of individuals and organizations better in the face of the pervading internet access and the mobile transformation of communications. This Article puts forth six additional hypotheses with twelve additional constructs in the PMT model of 2005. The hypotheses seek to demonstrate that the fear appeals are altered by the current communications environment brought in by mobile internet and the resulting security behavior has a measurable impact on the social behavior brought upon by mobile internet communications and that further it has an impact on the economic behavior of a mobile user while responding to the perceived threat.
