This PLOS ONE paper uses behavioral attributes elicited through economic games to predict participants' ability to distinguish phishing attempts from legitimate interfaces. The paper is an early example of my empirical work on behavior, incentives, and interface-mediated judgment. It also matters for AI-era infrastructure because human judgment remains central when systems surface uncertain or risky information.
