TLDR
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.

The privacy paradox Investigating discrepancies between expressed privacy concerns and actual online behavior A systematic literature review

Explaining the privacy paradox: A systematic review of literature investigating privacy attitude and behavior

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’.
Journal ArticleDOI

Online self-disclosure

TL;DR: It is shown how a privacy breach has less weight in everyday choices than more concrete and psychologically-near social networking activities and the implications for research and practice are discussed.

Making Transparency Transparent: The Evolution of Observation in Management Theory

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.

Solving the privacy paradox: A counter-argument experimental approach

TL;DR: People's opinions about online privacy are swayed after being presented with a message containing a counterargument, and this persuasion effect is pronounced among people with a low level of online knowledge or who assess the presented message's argument as strong.

Election security: Perception and reality

TL;DR: Voters' trust in elections comes from a combination of the mechanisms and procedures the authors use to record and tally votes, and from confidence in election officials' competence and honesty.

Unpacking the privacy paradox: Irrational decision-making within the privacy calculus

TL;DR: This research in progress develops a theoretical model that incorporates both actual disclosure behavior and the potential for irrational behavior induced by overriding situational factors presented at the time of the privacy disclosure decision.

Unlocking the privacy paradox: do cognitive heuristics hold the key?

TL;DR: It is argued that online user behaviors are not always rational, but may occur due to expedient decision-making in the heat of the moment, based on cognitive heuristics rather than on a careful analysis of each transaction.

Sharing ephemeral information in online social networks: privacy perceptions and behaviours

TL;DR: It is argued that the factorization of demographics and usage influence and shape users' behaviour and practices towards privacy, and may augment the translation of users' privacy needs and improve the design of privacy sensitive mechanisms for day-to-day information sharing.
