There were 25 participants in this pilot. We paid more ($4.50) since the survey now takes a median of ~15 minutes. We learned that the great majority of people have lost photos and emails. Loss, it seems, is expected. This seems to capture something that our event-focused scenarios do not.
The new event-focused scenarios seem to capture a good deal of what our old event-focused scenarios missed.
Participants started by writing loss stories about the three worst technology-related harms they had experienced.
We then told participants we would "describe technology-related harms that that have happened to others, and ask if they have also happened to" them.
New GraphsSummary Across Scenarios
When participants reported having suffered one of the described scenarios, we asked them how recently they had experienced it.
Scenario Pair: Device Compromise & Lockout
We asked participants who had a device compromised/stolen or locked what type of device it was. (If they had experienced more than one incident of a scenario we asked about the worst.)
