Employees’ information security awareness (ISA) is a key antecedent of information security behavior. However, to date we know very little about the factors that are responsible for some employees having a higher level of ISA than others. Our study addresses this gap. We propose a model that comprises institutional, individual, and environmental factors preceding ISA. The model was empirically ...

The current study used event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and behavioral measures to examine effects of genre awareness on sentence processing and evaluation. We hypothesized that genre awareness modulates effects of genre-typical manipulations. We manipulated instructions between participants, either specifying a genre (poetry) or not (neutral). Sentences contained genre-typical variations ...

We examine a logic that combines knowledge, awareness, and change of awareness. An agent can become aware of factual propositions but also of other agents or of herself. The dual operation to becoming aware, forgetting, can also be modelled. We show that the logic is decidable, and we present a complete axiomatization.

Morphological processing of derived words develops simultaneously with reading acquisition. However, the reader's engagement in morphological segmentation may depend on the language morphological richness and orthographic transparency, and the readers' reading skills. The current study tested the common idea that morphological segmentation is enhanced in non-transparent orthographies to compens...
