Abstract

Social media users may regulate their behaviors to follow norms of their online communities. This regulation process, however, might be too transient to be captured using self-reports and therefore is suitable for a NeuroIS investigation. Previously, in an event-related potential (ERP) experiment designed to study this regulation process, Huang, Kuo, and Lin [1] found that this regulation process could be reflected in an ERN-like ERP, and the ERP’s magnitude is correlated with people’s internet privacy concern. In this work-in-progress we seek to use eye-tracking to replicate their findings. Here we report our current results of pupil size anslyses, which so far are consistent with the previous ERP findings.
