Abstract

There have been many previous studies about an effect of anonymity on self control behavior. However the previous studies are on the aspect of results such as the usefulness, the problems of cyber crime or a lack of trust by anonymity. This study identifies the accurate definition of the objective technical anonymity and subjective social anonymity. And it reveals the relationship among technical anonymity, social anonymity, community tie, and self control as an effect of anonymity. The result of survey shows that technical anonymity affects self control through social anonymity and the relationship between technical and social anonymity is affected by community tie. This study presents how the anonymity affects individual behaviors. So it can be used as a reference to the policy on anonymity of the internet.
