Cybercrime Awareness among Saudi Nationals: Dataset

This survey was based on an online platform, namely Google forms. To ensure data confidentiality, anonymous participation was enabled, and the results were stored in a local database for further analysis. During preprocessing, participants were asked if they agreed or disagreed with participating in the survey. If they agreed, they could access the questionnaire by logging in to Google forms using their Google accounts. They were allowed to submit their answers only one time. Following this phase, all responses were stored locally in order to process the data and further analyze the results. To perform these tasks, the software R studio was used. Data Collection Since the aim of the study is Saudi awareness, we used two methods. First, we browsed public and private university websites in Saudi Arabia, then created a list of faculty email addresses to contact and inform faculty members about our project and goals and provide an invitation to participate. The faculty members ranged from lecturers and teaching assistants to professors. Second, we utilized the WhatsApp application to locate people known to meet the requirements and asked them to forward the invitation to their friends, family members and colleagues who also met the requirements. We avoided posting the survey on social media to assure the validity of participants.
