Duygusal Zekânın Siber Güvenliğe Etkisi: Bilinçli Farkındalığın Aracı Rolü

Bu araştırmanın amacı duygusal zekânın siber güvenlik üzerine etkisini ve bu etkide bilinçli farkındalığın aracı rolünü incelemektir. Araştırma Türkiye’nin çeşitli illerinde yaşayan yetişkinler üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya 342 (%66.5) kadın, 172 (%33.5) erkek olmak üzere 514 kişi katılmıştır. Araştırmada “Duygusal Zekâ Ölçeği”, “Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği” ve “Kişisel Siber Güvenliği Sağlama Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modeli ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya ait ölçeklerin Cronbach Alpha değeri Duygusal Zekâ Ölçeği için 0.73, Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği için 0.89 ve Siber Güvenlik Ölçeği için 0.77 bulunmuştur. Araştırmada duygusal zekâ ile bilinçli farkındalık arasında r= 0.50, duygusal zekâ ile siber güvenlik arasında r= 0.36, bilinçli farkındalık ile siber güvenlik arasında r= 0.33 korelasyon elde edilmiştir (p˂0.001). Araştırmadan elde edilen standardize edilmemiş beta değerleri: Duygusal zekânın bilinçli farkındalık üzerine doğrudan etkisi β=0.42, bilinçli farkındalığın siber güvenlik üzerine doğrudan etkisi β=0.15, duygusal zekânın siber güvenlik üzerine dolaylı etkisi β=0.07 [0.03, 0.10] olarak elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen tüm etki büyüklükleri anlamlı bulunmuştur (p˂0.001). Sonuç olarak; duygusal zekânın bilinçli farkındalığı pozitif, bilinçli farkındalığın siber güvenliği pozitif yönlü etkilediği bulunmuştur. Ayrıca duygusal zekânın siber güvenliği doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak pozitif yönlü etkilediği ve bu etkide bilinçli farkındalığın kısmi aracı rol üstlendiği ortaya konmuştur.

The Effect of Emotional Intelligence on Cyber Security: The Mediator Role of Mindfulness

The aim of the study was to examine the effect of emotional intelligence on cyber security and the role of mindfulness in this effect. The sample included 514 participants. In this study was used “Emotional Intelligence Scale”, “Mindfulness Scale” and “Personal Cyber Security Provision Scale”. The study was conducted with the relational survey model. The Cronbach Alpha value of the scales used in the research was found 0.73 for emotional intelligence scale, 0.89 for mindfulness scale and 0.77 for cyber security scale. In this study were obtained correlations that r=0.50 between emotional intelligence and mindfulness, r= 0.36 between emotional intelligence and cyber security, r=0.33 between mindfulness and cyber security. Unstandardized beta values that obtained from the study: β=0.15 [0.08, 0.23] the direct effect of emotional intelligence on mindfulness, β=0.15 [0.08, 0.23] the direct impact of Mindfulness on Cyber Security, β=0.07 [0.03, 0.10] the indirect effect of Emotional Intelligence on Cyber Security. All effect sizes obtained were found to be significant (p˂0.001). As a result of the analyzes, it was found that emotional intelligence effected positively mindfulness and mindfulness positively affected cyber security. Furthermore, it was revealed that emotional intelligence directly and indirectly affected cyber security positively and mindfulness played a partial mediator role in this effect.in this effect.
