作者:

Highlights:

• People with lower rates of crime in their physical environment tended to perceive their physical environment to be safe.

• People who perceived their physical environment to be safe in turn perceived social networking sites to be secure.

• These findings were consistent across socioeconomic status groups.

• Perceived social networking site security may be derived in part from the physical environment and perceptions of it.
