САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:

The aim of this research was to examine the latent structure of knowledge and risky behavior of the information system users and self-reports of risky and delinquent behavior. Empirical research was conducted on a pertinent sample of adolescent students (N = 120; M age = 88.34, SD = 0.52). Two measuring instruments were applied: Users’ Information Security Awareness Questionnaire and Self-reported delinquency and risky behaviors questionnaire. The calculated alpha coefficients of internal consistency are satisfactory, which indicates satisfactory psychometric characteristics – the validity and reliability of the used measuring instruments and their optimal application to the Serbian adolescent population. Correlation analysis revealed statistically significant low interactions between manifest variables risky and delinquent behavior and risky behavior of computer users (p ≤  0.01). Exploratory factor analysis using the method of principal components, oblique rotation according to the Guttman-Kaiser criterion in the UZPK questionnaire, with 65.16% of the variance, identified three factors interpreted as: (1) habitual risky behaviors of computer users, (2) maintaining personal computer systems, and (3) receiving access data. Also, on the SRDP scale, with 62.10% variability, a three-dimensional structure was defined: (1) degree of computer communication security, (2) beliefs about security of computer data and (3) importance of properly storing computer data. The results of the isolated latent dimensions on knowledge and risk exposure of IT system users and knowledge on IT security of adolescents are discussed from a theoretical aspect and implications for research practice.
