Abstract

This study explores how personality traits influence the perception of security and satisfaction of context-aware applications. Through a web-based survey using animated videos, we find that openness and agreeableness influence security perceptions, while satisfaction is more context-dependent. A positive correlation was also found between perceived security and satisfaction.
