Using data collected from 215 respondents, the study examined the mediating role that information processing plays with regard to user susceptibility to social network phishing based on their personality traits, thereby identifying user characteristics that may be more susceptible than others to phishing on SNSs. The results from the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that conscientious users were found to have a negative influence on heuristic processing, and are thus less susceptible to phishing on SNSs. The study also confirmed that heuristic processing increases susceptibility to phishing, thus supporting prior studies in this area. As such, this study follows this recommendation by identifying particular users susceptible to social network phishing by their personality traits, as this is one of the factors that have recently been found to influence user behaviour ( Shropshire et al., 2015 ) . ./cache/cord-355789-x449xflm.txt ./txt/cord-355789-x449xflm.txt
