Dyadic privacy management: The influence of dyadic privacy norms on the disclosure of co-owned information in romantic relationships
研究浪漫伴侣在数字环境中披露共同拥有的信息时，二元隐私规范如何超越个人隐私考量直接影响披露决策，并调节个人隐私担忧的权重，社会认同凸显会增强这些规范的可及性。
Previous research has emphasized online decisions by individual owners about disclosure of private information. Less is known about the disclosure of co-owned information by romantic partners in digital environments, despite such sharing being common and risky. We posit that in digitally mediated contexts, individuals’ decisions to share co-owned information are shaped not only by their self-centered privacy concerns and perceived benefits, but also by dyadic privacy norms. These norms, we posit, act beyond individual-level, self-centered privacy reflections in two significant ways: (1) They directly influence co-owned information disclosure and (2) they influence the weights assigned to individual privacy concerns. We further theorize that dyadic privacy norm accessibility is impacted by social identity salience, which can be manipulated through priming. The findings based on a realistic paradigm largely support our assertions but also produce surprising results. They highlight the need for further study of the role of dyadic privacy norms and social identities in multilevel privacy management.
