Factors influencing the effectiveness of educational activities on personal data security – research results

This article presents the results of a quasi-experimental study aimed at demonstrating the relationship between a unit educational activity in the form of a lecture on personal data risks and the level of commitment to ensuring the security of one’s own personal data. A proprietary tool with a high reliability index was used to measure the level of commitment – the dependent variable in this research. In the process of operationalizing the variable, use was made of the theory of attitude components. The studies, which were carried out according to the research plan involving a control group and only the final measurement, did not confirm the hypothesis that people subjected to educational activities would declare greater concern for their own data, and the connection was found to be small yet statistically significant.
