Abstract: 

Despite the relevance of emotions in explaining human behavior, emotions have traditionally been neglected in models explaining cybersecurity behavior. In recent years, however, the consideration of emotions has gained increasing interest. To enrich our understanding of emotions in the field of cybersecurity, this systematic review analyses 23 papers in terms of their emotion-related focus based on a categorization system derived from cybersecurity literature. The findings indicate that emotions are fundamental in a wide variety of cybersecurity processes and require further research. The analysis furthermore reveals five essential challenges to emotion research in cybersecurity, e.g., with regards to the conceptualization of emotions and the tools to measure them within the cybersecurity context. Finally, the articles provide recommendations for possible research avenues to address these posed challenges.
