Abstract

This paper examines consumers’ personal information disclosure behaviors and how consumers emotionally respond to and behaviorally cope with requests for personal data. We show through two experiments that individuals’ felt emotions toward requests for information change based on the disclosure strategy chosen. We also provide evidence that individuals rely on falsification as a means of behaviorally coping with personal information requests and that falsification mediates pre-to-post disclosure control perceptions. Implications for marketers are discussed.

For example, a website may have a two-stage registration process where a validation code is sent to the consumer’s email account. Only by providing a genuine email address will the consumer be able to access the desired website.
 
2
Omission is also a potential coping strategy in the voluntary condition. However, as it is not available in the required conditions, falsification was used for comparisons across conditions.

We used only a subset of PANAS items for two reasons. First, we wanted to ensure that we did not lose the participants to boredom. Second, because a number of the items on the PANAS did not map well to the study context, we felt it was important, given the context, to use a subset of the emotions that would not be confusing to participants.

The item (e.g., Your Name) was centered on the screen. Once the respondent pressed one of the shift keys, the next item was displayed in random order.
