2. Method
2.1. Survey instrument
To test the research model a survey questionnaire was developed. Adapted and new questionnaire items (i.e., perceived severity, perceived vulnerability, perceived threat, fear, subjective norm, attitude towards behavior, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy, response efficacy, trust in authorities, perceived regulation, authorities performance, information sensitivity, and behavioral intention) were developed by following a predefined protocol.
The questionnaire was first developed in English and then translated into Slovenian by a translator. The Slovenian questionnaire has been pre-tested by 3 independent respondents who provided feedback on its clarity. Based on the received feedback, the Slovenian questionnaire was reviewed to remove any ambiguity. Items were reworded, added, and deleted in the pre-test. To ensure the consistency between the Slovenian and English questionnaire, the Slovenian questionnaire was translated back to English. No significant differences in the meaning between the original items in English and back-translations were noticed. The English questionnaire was however reviewed to update the items and to remove any ambiguity based on the back-translation.
Table 2 presents the survey questionnaire in English and Table 3 presents the Slovenian translation of the survey questionnaire. All items were measured using a 5-point Likert scale as presented in Table 4.

2.2. Data collection
We conducted the survey with the Slovenian translation of the questionnaire among individuals in Slovenia who were at least 15 years old between 6 January 2020 and 24 June 2020. Respondents were recruited through University of Maribor students who were asked to distribute the survey questionnaire to their family and friends. The students were not compensated for distributing the survey questionnaire. Also, the respondents did not receive any compensation for taking the survey. All batches of questionnaires were checked for any signs of misconduct on the part of the students (e.g., asking questions related to respondents upon returning the questionnaires, checking if the same pen was used, style of writing, face similarity of answers, logical errors). No signs of misconduct were noticed. A total of 553 questionnaires were returned. After excluding poorly completed responses (responses with over 50 percent of missing values or standard deviation equal to 0 for constructs perceived severity, perceived vulnerability, perceived threat, fear, subjective norm, attitude towards behavior, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy, response efficacy, trust in authorities, perceived regulation, authorities performance, information sensitivity, and behavioral intention), we were left with 542 useful responses providing for a response rate of 27.9 percent as presented in Table
5.| ID | Name | Distributed questionnaires | Responses | |
| 1 | Individuals in Slovenia | 1982 | 553 | 542 |
Due to the sensitive nature of the survey topic, safeguards were put in place to encourage participation and honest responses. First, the respondents were informed about the voluntariness and anonymity of participating in the survey. Next, the respondents were assured that the collected data will be used for research purposes only. No special incentives were offered to encourage participation in the survey.
The first page of the survey is presented in Table 6.

Study on social engineering and the Varni na internetu awareness campaign
Dear Sirs! You are cordially invited to participate in a study on social engineering and the Varni na internetu awareness campaign conducted by the University of Maribor. Estimated time to complete the survey is 6-10 minutes. Social engineering refers to the use of deception in order to manipulate individuals to disclose confidential or personal information that may then be used for criminal purposes. Don’t worry if you’re not sure what social engineering and the Varni na internetu awareness campaign are. A short presentation of the most problematic types of social engineering in the last year, and a presentation of the Varni na internetu awareness campaign are part of the survey. Participation in the research is voluntary and anonymous. Data will be used exclusively for research purposes. Contact person: Simon Vrhovec ¡simon.vrhovec@um.si¿ Kind regards, Simon Vrhovec |
Raziskava o družbenem inženiringu in programu ozaveščanja Varni na internetu
Spoštovani! Vljudno vabljeni k sodelovanju v raziskavi o družbenem inženiringu in programu ozaveščanja Varni na internetu, ki jo izvajamo na Univerzi v Mariboru. Predviden čas izpolnjevanja ankete je 6-10 minut. Družbeni inženiring (angl. social engineering) se nanaša na uporabo zavajanja za manipulacijo posameznikov, da razkrijejo zaupne ali osebne podatke, ki se lahko nato uporabijo v kriminalne namene. Naj vas ne skrbi, če niste prepričani, kaj sta družbeni inženiring in program ozaveščanja Varni na internetu. Kratka predstavitev najbolj problematičnih vrst družbenega inženiringa v zadnjem letu in predstavitev programa ozaveščanja Varni na internetu sta namreč del ankete. Sodelovanje v raziskavi je prostovoljno in anonimno, podatki pa bodo uporabljeni izključno za raziskovalne namene. Kontaktna oseba: Simon Vrhovec ¡simon.vrhovec@um.si¿ Z lepimi pozdravi, Simon Vrhovec |

4. Discussion
This paper presents the results of a survey about social engineering and the Varni na internetu awareness campaign. Future studies may focus on other factors associated with individuals’ motivation to follow awareness campaign materials. Such studies would be beneficial both to better explain the motivation of internet users to follow awareness campaigns, and to better understand the associations between different factors associated with it.
