Exposure to Xenophobic Claims Leads Asians to Prefer Self-Identity Products and Non-Asians to Adopt Cybersecurity Products

In this research, we demonstrate that identity threatened group and threat-observing group react differently after exposure to the same xenophobic claim. The threatened group will try to restore their identity, while the threat-observing group will set up higher bars for security. The proposed mechanism is self-protection tendency.
