“…Harrington (1996) found that codes of ethics had positive influences on denial of responsibility among computer abusers while, predictably, no effect was seen on nonabusers. Note that locus of control (Rotter, 1966) leads to cognitive assessments about acceptance or denial or responsibility (assignment of responsibility); that is, it impacts the extent to which people assume responsibility for their actions (Costa & Kallick, 1997; Heltsley & Calhoun, 2003; Milgram & Naaman, 1996; O'Donoghue & Rabin, 2000).…”

Information security is a growing concern among the general population. For instance, it has been estimated by the U.S. Department of Justice (2004) that one in three people will become victims of identity theft at some point in their lifetime. The bulk of the research into information security has gone into the investigation of technological aspects of security, and there are gaps in the literature relative to contravention of security measures. Drawing from deterrence theory and using the theory of planned behavior as a general framework, this empirical field study investigated the effects of punishment and ethics training on behaviors related to contravention of information security measures among information professionals to fill an important gap in the literature. We found that both punishment and ethics training can be effective in mitigating the threat of software and information security, but that these depend on certain underlying motivational factors of individuals. The results of this study suggest a need to develop and refine the theoretical models, and we offer suggestions for getting at the root of behavioral issues surrounding information security.

Why People Don’t Take their Concerns about Fair Trade to the Supermarket: The Role of Neutralisation

2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article explores how neutralisation can explain people’s lack of commitment to buying Fair Trade (FT) products, even when they identify FT as an ethical concern. It examines the theoretical tenets of neutralisation theory and critically assesses its applicability to the purchase of FT products. Exploratory research provides illustrative examples of neutralisation techniques being used in the FT consumer context. A conceptual framework and research propositions delineate the role of neutralisation in explaining the attitude-behaviour discrepancies evident in relation to consumers’ FT purchase behaviour, providing direction for further research that will generate new knowledge of consumers’ FT purchase behaviour and other aspects of ethical consumer behaviour.

“…This study fills a gap in research on parenting by directly asking middle‐class parents what they consider to be quality time with their families. In doing so, I look at parents’ definitions of quality time as a mechanism through which they create a “vocabulary of motives” to explain their parenting choices in a way that affirms their status as a good parent (e.g., Garey, 1999; Godwin, 2004; Heltsley & Calhoun, 2003). Mills (1940) argued that individuals construct a vocabulary of motives to help them make sense of and to explain their actions to outsiders and themselves by drawing on socially acceptable words and images as a way to talk about their behaviors in a manner that emphasizes the appropriateness of their decisions.…”

A Vocabulary of Motives: Understanding How Parents Define Quality Time

Although discussions of parenting refer to quality time, parents’ views of quality time have not been explored. Using the Sloan 500 Family Study, this article examines how 220 parents from 110 dual‐parent families define the spending quality time with their families and finds 3 distinct views: Structured‐planning parents saw it as planned family activities, child‐centered parents emphasized heart‐to‐heart talks with their children, and time‐intensive parents believed that all the time they spent with their families was quality time. Mothers and fathers both valued quality time, but, particularly when parents within a household disagreed, mothers more often described having a more active parenting role and assumed greater responsibility for quality time, reflecting a gendered division of parenting within the home.
