| Abstract: | This presently reported work sought to examine the effects of dynamic guardianship on safety perception and investigate the relationship between personality traits and safety perception in the context of dynamic guardianship. The concept of dynamic guardianship has emerged as a promising development in safety governance and burglary prevention. It seeks to create an illusion of constant surveillance and presence through the installation of smart home devices (SHDs). This study was carried out among 66 university students using a virtual reality (VR) setting that reproduced a typical Dutch neighborhood with two forms of dynamic guardianship, namely voice-enabled cameras and smart blinds. The preliminary which intended to test if dynamic guardianship manipulation was effective, indicated that participants detected voice-enabled cameras more often than smart blinds. Safety perception was not significantly affected by either voice-enabled cameras or smart blinds. Moreover, personality traits including high agreeableness and low emotionality were not associated with participants’ perceived safety. |
