Analysis of the relation between a person's emotion and willingness to accept for leaks of personal data

In this research, we performed AHP analysis on what sentiments or emotions have the capacity to affect the WTP and WTA required by consumers, with respect to personal information leaks during internet use. The analysis results revealed differences in consumer sentiment and emotion during the following instances, despite their commonality in dealing with a personal information leak: a data leak while using online search services, while using a typical video streaming service such as YouTube, and while using a pornographic video service. Specifically, the user had relatively greater anger toward the business for data leaks encountered while using a typical video streaming service, and relatively greater self-shame for data leaks encountered while using pornographic video services.
