Abstract: Abstract Behavior in the field of Information systems is a popular topic of research. Researchers in different contexts try to propose models and theories to show the influential factors that influence individuals’ behavior. In these kinds of researches, the behavior of people in a certain context is investigated and a set of variables as its predictor are being proposed. However, in some cases such as individuals’ behavior in context of ethical dilemmas it is not possible to observe or ask respondents about the behavior directly. In these cases, a scenario-based questionnaire might be very helpful. This paper proposes a method to design proper scenarios for these kinds of questionnaires focusing on Social Networking Sites’ ethical dilemmas.
