title: Privacy notices_BIT paper

description: Datasets related to three experiments (Study1: N = 132; Study 2: N = 128; Study 3: N = 91) with anonymous data collected for a work published on Behavior & Information Technology and part of a doctoral thesis. The datasets of the first two studies contain the following variables: - ID (participant’s ID); - Condition (experimental condition; categorical); - Explicitness (mention of the cause of the appearance of the notice in its text; dichotomous); - Consecutiveness (consecutiveness of the notice presented to the participant; dichotomous); - Reading (response to the item asking if the participant read the notice; categorical); - Reading_coded (dichotomous); - Cause (response to the item asking the cause of the appearance of the notice; categorical); - Cause_coded (dichotomous); - Topic (response to the item asking the topic of the notice; categorical); - Topic_coded (dichotomous); - Perceived_C1 (response to the first item asking the participant’s level of perceived comprehension; 5-point Likert scale from “Strongly disagree” to “Strongly agree); - Perceived_C2 (response to the second item asking the participant’s level of perceived comprehension; 5-point Likert scale from “Strongly disagree” to “Strongly agree”); - Clarity (average score of three items asking the level of clarity of the notice; 5-point Likert scale from “Strongly disagree” to “Strongly agree”); - Control (response to the item asking the participant’s sense of control over his/her data; 5-point Likert scale from “Strongly disagree” to “Strongly agree” - Privacy_concerns (average score of five items asking the level privacy concerns; 5-point Likert scale from “Strongly disagree” to “Strongly agree”) - Response_time_sec (time elapsed from the notice appearance to the participant’s response to the notice, in seconds) - Response (participant’s response to the notice; dichotomous) - Novelty (response to the item asking whether the participant noticed differences between the notice s/he saw and the ones s/he is used to see; categorical) - Habits (response to the item asking the participant’s usual response to similar notice; categorical) - Gender (response to the item asking the participant’s gender; dichotomous) - Age_coded (response to the item asking the participant’s age coded in under30/over30; dichotomous) - Education_coded (response to the item asking the participant’s level of education coded in HighSchool/University; dichotomous) - Fist language (participant’s first language) The dataset of the third study contains the following variables: - ID (participant’s ID); - Condition (experimental condition; categorical); - Explicitness (mention of the cause of the appearance of the notice in its text; dichotomous); - Consecutiveness (consecutiveness of the notice presented to the participant; dichotomous); - Reading (response to the item asking if the participant read the notice; categorical); - Reading_coded (dichotomous); - Generic_topic_coded (correctness of the participant’s response to the open-answer item asking the topic of the notice; categorical); - Specific_topic (response to the item asking the specific topic of the notice; categorical) - Cause (response to the item asking the cause of the appearance of the notice; categorical); - Privacy_concerns (average score of five items asking the level privacy concerns; 5-point Likert scale from “Strongly disagree” to “Strongly agree”) - Response_time_sec (time elapsed from the notice appearance to the participant’s response to the notice, in seconds) - Response (participant’s response to the notice; dichotomous) - Novelty (response to the item asking whether the participant noticed differences between the notice s/he saw and the ones s/he is used to see; categorical) - Habits (response to the item asking the participant’s usual response to similar notice; categorical) - Gender (response to the item asking the participant’s gender; dichotomous) - Age_coded (response to the item asking the participant’s age coded in under30/over30; dichotomous) - Education_coded (response to the item asking the participant’s level of education coded in HighSchool/University; dichotomous) - Fist language (participant’s first language)
