Youth’s attitudes and behaviours with respect to online privacy: A conceptual exploration

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingMeeting abstract (Book)

Abstract

This paper gives an exploratory overview of topical research on the privacy-related attitude-behaviour dichotomy among youth. It aims to highlight gaps, research challenges and suggest further research while taking into account the primary focus of the doctoral research project inspiring this paper, i.e., young people's moral attitudes regarding online privacy. In particular it argues for (1) a grounded and detailed conceptualization of privacy literacy within Internet literacy debates, (2) further in-depth research into emotional and attitudinal aspects of online privacy-related practices, especially (3) amongst very young Internet users, an age group that has remained empirically under-examined in communications studies.
