Examining Cyber Trespass Behaviors Across Three Regions

• In Event: Assessing the Prevalence and Incidence of Cyber Crime

Abstract

Most studies on the prevalence and predictors of cyber trespass behaviors have largely utilized samples of college students within the United States. There is a lack of studies within the literature which compares and contrasts cyber trespass behavior across nations. To address this gap, this current study examines cyber trespass behaviors across three regions: United States, Taiwan, and Africa. In addition, this study examines whether risk factors associated with cyber trespass behaviors previously identified using college samples from the United States are applicable to other sample groups. In general, the findings of the study can improve the understanding of cyber trespass behavior across multiple regions, and establish empirical status of previously identified factors associated with cyber trespass behaviors.
