Description:
This Review summarizes and draws connections between diverse streams of empirical research on privacy behavior. We use three themes to connect insights from social and behavioral sciences: people's uncertainty about the consequences of privacy-related behaviors and their own preferences over those consequences; the context-dependence of people's concern, or lack thereof, about privacy; and the degree to which privacy concerns are malleable-manipulable by commercial and governmental interests. Organizing our discussion by these themes, we offer observations concerning the role of public policy in the protection of privacy in the information age.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Acquisti, Alessandro -- Brandimarte, Laura -- Loewenstein, George -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Jan 30;347(6221):509-14. doi: 10.1126/science.aaa1465.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉H.
