Description

Privacy research considers many explanations for why people express privacy concerns, but seemingly have misaligned privacy behaviors. This research proposes the missing explanation is a clear definition of what privacy means to different people. Specifically, what are the privacy boundaries of individuals. Unique to our typology is the theoretical explanation of differences grounded in Communication Privacy Management theory, which suggests different individuals will have different boundaries in different contexts. Further, we will relate these boundaries to privacy knowledge to better determine how privacy intentions align with capabilities. This research has theoretical implications to help us better understand why prior theories have mixed results. Practically, this research can help guide delineation as privacy regulations become more prevalent.
