Participants completed pre- and post-surveys measuring cyber hygiene, PMT constructs, and individual traits."}, {"__content__"=>"Results indicated that both video formats increased cyber hygiene intentions compared to the text-based control. There was no statistically meaningful difference between the narrative and didactic formats, suggesting that delivery style alone does not materially alter cybersecurity intentions when content is held constant, although the narrative showed numerically larger effects. The main predictors of protection motivation included response efficacy, vulnerability, severity, and response costs; fear and self-efficacy were not significant. Technical skill and reflective decision-making positively influenced protective intentions, whereas self-control did not. Mediation analyses suggested that PMT constructs are associated with pathways linking the videos to cyber hygiene, although the cross-sectional measurement of mediators limits strong causal inference."}, {"__content__"=>"Overall, the findings support the use of video-based cybersecurity training that emphasizes actionable guidance rather than emotional arousal."}]}
