Abstract:
Information security breaches can be devastating to an organization, and in some cases, to the general
public welfare. Because college students may be particularly susceptible to security breach influences,
there are practical and ethical implications for understanding the likelihood that students would provide
information to unauthorized entities. To that objective, a study was conducted that examined the
conditions under which a security breach would be committed, the relationships between the respondent
classification variables and the levels of acceptance of certain security breach situational factors, and the
relationships between psychological well-being and religiosity, and the vulnerability to commit a security
breach.
