About
Alexandra von Preuschen is a researcher at the intersection of human-technology interaction and cybersecurity psychology, with a focus on understanding the emotional dimensions of digital security. Her most-cited work, "How do you Feel about Cybersecurity? – A Literature Review on Emotions in Cybersecurity" (2023, 8 citations), provides a foundational synthesis of how emotions like fear, trust, and frustration shape user behavior and security outcomes. This review, presented at The International Symposium on Technikpsychologie, connects contemporary cybersecurity challenges to a century of interdisciplinary research at TU Darmstadt, tracing back to the institute for "Psychotechnik" in 1922. Von Preuschen's contribution lies in bridging historical human-technology interaction studies with modern cybersecurity concerns, highlighting that effective security design must account for users' emotional responses. Her work has been recognized for its timely relevance in an era of increasing digital threats, offering a human-centered perspective that complements technical security measures. By mapping the emotional landscape of cybersecurity, she provides a critical resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to create more intuitive and user-friendly security systems.
