Making Motivation Theories Accessible: Introducing Motivation Cards to Map Motivators for Security and Privacy Education

When an individual is motivated, they are more likely to initiate, pursue, and persist in activities. Motivation theories from educational psychology can further our comprehension of factors influencing learners' engagement in Security and Privacy Education (S&PE). However, the abstract nature of psychological concepts and the proliferation of theories can make it challenging for practitioners to examine and intervene motivation in S&PE. We drew upon the insights of a recently synthesized framework of motivation theories and designed Motivation Cards, which can be used to map an individual's motivational factors, providing a flexible and accessible approach for researchers and educators. We discuss study opportunities for utilizing the cards in developing engaging solutions and behavior interventions in S&PE.
