Abstract
The Internet and the growth of Information Technology (IT) and their enhanced capabilities to collect personal information have given rise to many privacy issues. This study investigated the differences among different age groups and between genders regarding information privacy concerns and their relationships with computer self-efficacy. The study used a paper-based survey instrument and collected data by using the mall-intercept approach in which individuals were asked to fill out the survey. The target population of this study was the 400 residents of the state of New Jersey, U.S.A. in three age groups: 18-25, 26-50, and 50+. The results show that only male and age group of 26-50 have positive and significant relationship between computer self-efficacy and information privacy concerns. The findings of this study can help corporations to improve e-commerce by targeting privacy policy-making efforts to address the explicit areas of consumer privacy concern.
