Privacy attitudes and privacy behaviour

01 Jan 2017-Computers & Security (Elsevier Advanced Technology)-Vol. 64, pp 122-134
TL;DR: The results of a review of research literature on the privacy paradox are presented and it is suggested that future studies should use evidence of actual behaviour rather than self-reported behaviour, and call for synthetic studies to be based on comprehensive theoretical models that take into account the diversity of personal information and the Diversity of privacy concerns.

TL;DR: The privacy research community is suggested to agree on a shared definition of the different privacy constructs to allow for conclusions beyond individual samples and study designs, and provide strong evidence for the theoretical explanation approach called ‘privacy calculus’.

TL;DR: The current popularity of the term "transparency" provides the occasion for a thorough review, which finds a shift in the object of observation from organizational outcomes to the detailed individual activities within them, a shift from people observing the technology to technology observing people, and a split in the field, with managers viewing observation almost entirely from the observer's perspective as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Observation is key to management scholarship and practice. Yet a holistic view of its role in management has been elusive, in part due to shifting terminology. The current popularity of the term “transparency” provides the occasion for a thorough review, which finds (a) a shift in the object of observation from organizational outcomes to the detailed individual activities within them; (b) a shift from people observing the technology to technology observing people; and (c) a split in the field, with managers viewing observation almost entirely from the observer’s perspective, leaving the perspective of the observed to the realm of scholarly methodology courses and philosophical debates on privacy. I suggest how the literature on transparency and related literatures might be improved with research designed in light of these trends.

  • ...That inconsistency has frequently been referred to as the “privacy paradox”—consumers express deep concerns about privacy but reveal personal information online for relatively small rewards (Barnes, 2006; John, 2015; Kokolakis, 2015; Norberg, Horne, & Horne, 2007; Taddicken, 2014)....

TL;DR: Giddens as mentioned in this paper has been in the forefront of developments in social theory for the past decade and outlines the distinctive position he has evolved during that period and offers a full statement of a major new perspective in social thought, a synthesis and elaboration of ideas touched on in previous works but described here for the first time in an integrated and comprehensive form.
Abstract: Anthony Giddens has been in the forefront of developments in social theory for the past decade. In "The Constitution of Society" he outlines the distinctive position he has evolved during that period and offers a full statement of a major new perspective in social thought, a synthesis and elaboration of ideas touched on in previous works but described here for the first time in an integrated and comprehensive form. A particular feature is Giddens' concern to connect abstract problems of theory to an interpretation of the nature of empirical method in the social sciences. In presenting his own ideas, Giddens mounts a critical attack on some of the more orthodox sociological views. "The Constitution of Society" is an invaluable reference book for all those concerned with the basic issues in contemporary social theory.

TL;DR: Social cognitive theory distinguishes among three modes of agency: direct personal agency, proxy agency that relies on others to act on one's behest to secure desired outcomes, and collective agency exercised through socially coordinative and interdependent effort.
Abstract: The capacity to exercise control over the nature and quality of one's life is the essence of humanness. Human agency is characterized by a number of core features that operate through phenomenal and functional consciousness. These include the temporal extension of agency through intentionality and forethought, self-regulation by self-reactive influence, and self-reflectiveness about one's capabilities, quality of functioning, and the meaning and purpose of one's life pursuits. Personal agency operates within a broad network of sociostructural influences. In these agentic transactions, people are producers as well as products of social systems. Social cognitive theory distinguishes among three modes of agency: direct personal agency, proxy agency that relies on others to act on one's behest to secure desired outcomes, and collective agency exercised through socially coordinative and interdependent effort. Growing transnational embeddedness and interdependence are placing a premium on collective efficacy to exercise control over personal destinies and national life.

TL;DR: This article introduced a theoretical framework that describes the importance of affect in guiding judgments and decisions and argued that reliance on such feelings can be characterized as "the affect heuristic" and discussed some of the important practical implications resulting from ways that this heuristic impacts our daily lives.
