L2: Article 1 | Perspectives on Privacy and Self-Disclosure in the Social Web
Auteur: Joseph B. Walther
● the more users disclose about themselves, the more they benefit of the service
provided. But with that, the more they disclose, the more they risk breaches of their
privacy
● There are 3 factors that confront users online:
1. A misplaced presumption that online behavior is private
2. The nature of the internet is incommensurate (onmeetbaar) with privacy, meaning
that the psychological privacy that SNS afford may lull users into a false presumption
of informational privacy (what you put online, stays online)
3. One’s expectation of privacy does not constitute privacy by definition, meaning you
may think your information online is yours and therefore private even legally, but it is
not.
● To counter this, users should have the ability to protect their own privacy, also known
as privacy literacy, enabling them to make more educated choices.
● There is a paradox between the collection of your data and your disclosure online
(that companies are eager to collect) and your self-impression management in which
you may present a false image of yourself online. Though this false image is easily
percepted by friends.
L2: Article 2 | Self-disclosure in social media extending the functional approach to
disclosure motivations and characteristics on social network sites
Auteurs: Natalya Bazarova en Young Hae Choi
● This article introduces the Functional Theory of Self-Disclosure, which entails that we
disclose information about ourselves if it gives us something in return.
● The goals are:
1. Identity Clarification
2. Relationship Building
3. Social Control
4. Social Validation
5. Self-Expression
6. Information sharing
7. Entertainment
● The study showed that people have different goals in mind when approaching SNS
and that the way they communicate is influenced by these goals
● The different kinds of tools within SNS also allow for different types of goals and
communication (different in private messages than on Facebook wall posts)
● Offline self-disclosure is much affected by risks and benefits of the disclosure, in
which the benefits are the need for social connectedness and the risks are the
vulnerability of informational and privacy loss. People feel most comfortable sharing
information with a complete stranger or within a dyadic boundary with a trusted
companion
, ● The least disclosure offline happens between acquaintances (you do not know well)
that expect future interaction and in the presence of uninvolved third parties.
● There are 3 levels of intimacy in which you share information:
1. Private level (direct messages)
2. Intermediate level (group chats on insta, story for close friends only)
3. Public level (reels, public posts)
L3: Article 1: Is the privacy paradox a relic of the past? An in-depth analysis of privacy
attitudes and privacy behaviors
Auteurs: Dienlin & Trepte
● They studied if the Privacy Paradox would disappear by differentiating between
Informational, Physical and Social privacy. They also analyzed privacy attitudes and
intentions next to privacy concerns. All items were designed on the basis of Theory of
Planned Behavior (explains why our attitudes do/not influence our behavior)
● Results showed that the relation is NOT paradoxical when considering all the factors
included and that small effects showed that people who were actually concerned also
shared less information.
● Privacy concerns are unipolar, they can only be negative
● Privacy attitudes can be both positive or negative
L3: Article 2: The role of privacy fatigue in online privacy behavior
Auteurs: Choi, Park & Jung
● Privacy Fatigue is a phenomenon caused by the increasing difficulty to manage one’s
privacy and the inability to meet goals (of protection). It has two key dimensions,
Emotional Exhaustion and Cynicism.
● Fatigue is also a coping strategy of behavioral disengagement in which a person that
is fatigued will disengage from a goal instead of achieving it (trying to solve a
problem for example)
● Survey among 323 internet-users showed that Privacy Fatigue has a bigger impact
on privacy behavior than privacy concerns
● Results showed that people that are fatigued are more disengaged and share more
information (online)
● People with high privacy concern share less as they are more engaged
● When people are fatigued, they will disclose and disengage more, it does not matter
whether they have privacy concerns or not
