The fact that the cyber environment does not have clear boundaries, and the difficulties in taking control of this environment, can turn online sharing into a source of concern in terms of privacy. In particular, the tendency of internet addicts to use the internet uncontrollably can increase the probability of experiencing privacy concerns. This research aims to reveal the relationship between internet addiction levels and online privacy concerns of university youth, one of the segments most addressed by web-based communication technologies. The research was designed with a cross-sectional and correlational survey design within the scope of quantitative research methods. The sample of the research consists of 524 students studying at a state university in Turkey. Quantitative data were collected face-to-face through an introductory information form, and a questionnaire including the scales of “Online Privacy Concern” and “Internet Addiction”. The study determined that online privacy concerns were significantly higher among first-year students, female students, and those using Instagram accounts. It was determined that male students had higher internet addiction levels. In the study, it was revealed that as the internet addiction levels of university students increased, their online privacy concerns also increased. In addition, it was determined that internet addiction explained 15.7% of the total variance of online privacy concerns. Based on the positive relationship between internet addiction and online privacy concern levels of university students, it can be said that the problems related to internet use intersect, intertwine and feed each other.

This systematic review addresses problems identified in existing research on survey measurements of individuals’ information privacy concerns in online contexts. The search in this study focused on articles published between 1996 and 2019 and yielded 970 articles. After excluding duplicates and screening for eligibility, we were left with 13 articles in which the investigators developed a total of 16 survey scales. In addition to reviewing the conceptualizations, contexts, and dimensionalities of the scales, we evaluated the quality of methodological procedures used in the scale development process, drawing upon the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) Risk of Bias checklist. The results confirmed that the breadth of conceptualizations and dimensions of information privacy concerns are constructed with a low emphasis on contextuality. Assessment of the quality of methodological procedures suggested a need for a more thorough evaluation of content validity. We provide several recommendations for tackling these issues and propose new research directions.

Examining the online privacy concerns of our prospective teachers who will raise our future generations is important in terms of determining and increasing the awareness levels of prospective teachers of the digital world and for the development of a conscious generation having this awareness while raising students. The definition of cyber space or virtual environments has further expanded; digital business applications, online services, online training systems, e-commerce sites, social media sites, and surely multiplayer video games have also been included in the definition. The definition of these digital spaces as virtual spaces creates questions as to how individuals exist in these places and how they travel in these places. This study, whose aim is to analyze online confidentiality concerns of prospective teachers in terms of various variables, consists of 92 teacher candidates who were studying in Necmettin Erbakan University of Konya in 2018-2019 academic year. In this study, where quantitative research was adopted, surveying model was used as a research method. The data collection tool was "The Online Privacy Concern Scale (OPCS)" developed. Descriptive statistics, Independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used during the analysis.
