Resumen

Los riesgos online asociados a las estafas o fraudes con dispositivos tecnológicos y a los datos personales, son cada vez más frecuentes, por lo que es importante comprender la percepción del riesgo que sobre ellos tienen los ciudadanos. Algunos estudios señalan a la formación como uno de los principales retos que ayudarán a afrontar riesgos y problemas derivados del uso de la tecnología y necesarios tanto en zonas urbanas como rurales. En este estudio cuasi experimental de tipo mixto se aplica una escala de percepción de riesgo y de ella, se analizan 15 ítems sobre percepciones de 239 ciudadanos y sus experiencias centradas en relaciones y comunicación, problemas de fraudes y estafas online y datos personales. Los resultados muestran que los ciudadanos perciben mucho y/o demasiado riesgo en la mayor parte de las acciones y en general poco riesgo en las compras online. Narran problemas de suplantación de identidad por extravío de móvil, phishing, tratamiento de datos personales y otros. Algunos de ellos asociados a buenas prácticas y estrategias para afrontarlos y así evitar conscientemente adoptar conductas de riesgo en situaciones cotidianas cada vez más habituales en la sociedad digital.
