& Security. This Mini Track is a window for researchers to share their ideas with the community and motivate constructive conversations to promote the advancement of knowledge around the psychological aspect of privacy and security issues.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left; margin: 0px 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Aptos; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The successful design and implementation of privacy and security strategies depends on a diversity of perspectives. This mini-track highlights
the importance of exploring how various factors—cultural values, social pressures, stress, perceptions of organizational-strategies, attitudes toward regulatory frameworks, and innovations—shape the adoption, adaptation, or resistance to information technologies.
We are interested in research that deepens our understanding of how individuals navigate privacy and security concerns, factors driving their decisions, impact of AI on personal data protection, factors enabling privacy and security, and those that inadvertently
facilitate adversarial actions. This forum encourages discussions on privacy and security in areas like smart technologies, AI-driven solutions, and IoT devices. We also invite research focused on Security Education and Awareness Training (SETA). To foster
a global discussion of these important issues and to stimulate a broad dialogue on these pressing issues, this mini track is open to both quantitative and qualitative research.</span></p>

nor be under review elsewhere. It is the general objective of the mini track that after significant updating, papers will be submitted to a premier outlet. Thus, accepted Completed Research Papers to the mini track will be published in their entirety in the
conference proceedings. Authors of accepted Emergent Research Forum Papers (research-in-progress) may submit an abstract for publication in the proceedings OR a revised paper. For past proceedings see:
