DESCRIPTION:By : Laura Brandimarte - Carnegie Mellon University\nIC Facult
 y candidateAbstract :\nOnline privacy and security decision making is comp
 lex\, because it is affected both by objective risks and benefits from dis
 closure or protection of personal information\, and by factors that do not
  directly affect economic trade-offs. For instance\, design features - suc
 h as default visibility settings\, look & feel of a website\, granularity 
 of privacy controls\, or framing of privacy policies - as well as cognitiv
 e and behavioral biases affect risk perception. Behavioral sciences provid
 e useful insights on how people respond to risks and threats. Of particula
 r interest to my research is whether individuals detect\, recognize\, and 
 react differently to "offline" and "online" threats. I will present a seri
 es of laboratory experiments\, that combine findings from HCI and behavior
 al sciences\, showing how to help users of online sharing technologies det
 ect online privacy and security threats\, and thus make better informed de
 cisions. The experiments demonstrate how sensorial\, visceral stimuli from
  the offline\, physical world can affect online privacy concern and online
  disclosures. The results show the importance of going beyond privacy and 
 security usability research\, and provide suggestions on how to improve in
 terfaces to help users make sound privacy and security decisions.Bio :\nLa
 ura Brandimarte is a post-doctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University. A
 fter undergraduate studies in economics in Rome and a Master of Science at
  the London School of Economics\, she joined CMU to study the behavioral e
 conomics of privacy. In December 2012\, she obtained her PhD from CMU in P
 ublic Policy and Management\, with a specialization in Behavioral Science.
  Her current research interests include privacy decision making\, cognitiv
 e and behavioral biases in privacy attitudes and choices\, soft paternalis
 m and privacy\, risk perception and impression formation. Her research is 
 mostly empirical and oriented towards practical policy implications.More i
