Abstract :
Research on individual behavior and decision making in a virus infection situation is important for developing information security protection. A virus infection situation can be considered a kind of state of panic. Although many reports about panic phenomena have been published in the field of psychology, there have not yet been any reports about the virus infection situation. By means of a questionnaire and an experiment involving a virtual game based on collective intelligence, we have obtained individual data in a virus infection environment. By analyzing the experiment data in combination with questionnaire results, we have investigated the correlation between the personal profile and the actions of a person in taking antivirus measures. Multivariable logistic regression analysis of the results showed that "multimedia skill", "group norm", and "altruism" in the personal profile are related to coping behavior in a virus infection environment.
