  • Willing to Be Scammed: How Self-Control Impacts Internet Scam Compliance
    Running head: Willing to be scammed: how self-control impacts Internet scam compliance Willing to be scammed: How self-control impacts Internet scam compliance Submitted by David Modic to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology In September 2012 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University.
