“…Specifically, it could be argued that through a systematic treatment of the qualitative data, we have lost a rich, textured account of people's experiences and judgments about privacy and that a narrative-like approach to the data would have yielded a more cohesive account of each person's unique circumstance and perspective. We agree that such narrative analyses are valuable, particularly when the research goals emphasize the detailed perspectives of a limited number of individuals (see, e.g., in our own work, Friedman, Freier, Kahn, Lin, & Sodeman, 2005; also Dourish, Grinter, Delgado de la Flor, & Joseph, 2004). At the same time, such narrative methods are less well-suited to identifying more general patterns across larger data sets, as was the case here with the patterns that we sought with respect to the multidimensional elements of people's privacy judgments.…”

Digitally capturing and displaying real-time images of people in public places raises concerns for individual privacy.

Design, we conducted two studies of people's social judgments about this topic. In Study I, 750 people were surveyed as they walked through a public plaza that was being captured by a HDTV camera and displayed in real-time in the office of a building overlooking the plaza. In Study II, 120 individuals were interviewed about the same topic. Moreover, Study II controlled for whether the participant was a direct stakeholder of the technology (inside the office watching people on the HDTV large-plasma display window) or an indirect stakeholder (being watched in the public venue). Taking both studies together, results showed the following: (a) the majority of participants upheld some modicum of privacy in public; (b) people's privacy judgments were not a one-dimensional construct, but often involved considerations based on physical harm, psychological wellbeing, and informed consent; and (c) more women than men expressed concerns about the installation, and, unlike the men, equally brought forward their concerns whether they were The Watcher or The Watched. 236FRIEDMAN ET AL.

“…My colleagues and I installed our technological nature window in seven inside offi ces of faculty and staff in the Information School at the University of Washington. We then employed a fi eld-study methodology to explore the user experience of these technological nature windows (Friedman, Freier, Kahn, Lin, and Sodeman 2008).…”

“…However, when eliciting values for a specific design case, such questionnaires, which give abstract value priorities of people, are not sufficient to explore the complex value systems, dependencies, and in situ values relating to the design in question. Several other social science methods have therefore been adapted and employed by VSD researchers to study values in situ: interviews in situ (Friedman et al 2006(Friedman et al , 2008a, surveys in situ (Friedman et al 2008a, b), physiological measurements in situ (Kahn et al 2008), and diaries (Friedman et al 2008a, b). These studies showed the worth of value deliberations relative to the use context of a certain technology (Friedman et al 2006).…”
