“…For the young women in the study, technology was perceived as a 'way of life' amongst their cohort. Studies have shown that young people are extremely comfortable with the use of technology (Moreno, Kelleher, Ameenuddin, & Rastogi, 2014), and accustomed to sharing personal information online (Awan & Gauntlett, 2013). This is supported by the increasing number of ehealth and mhealth interventions being developed for this demographic over the last few years (Lim et al, 2011;Mortimer, Rhee, Guy, Hayen, & Lau, 2015).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive social issue. Younger women tend to experience the highest rates of violence, associated with a range of negative health outcomes. Although interventions in health settings have shown promise, younger women may be reluctant to access services or discuss relationships with a health professional. Delivering an IPV intervention online or via a smartphone has the potential to overcome some of these barriers. Little is known, however, about how young women might perceive such an intervention, or what factors might influence its uptake. Drawing on focus groups interviews, we explore the views of young Australian women on using a website or app to address IPV. Azjen's Theory of Planned Behaviour is used to help understand the beliefs and norms around technology and help-seeking for IPV. Findings highlight the potential for technological interventions to become a valuable addition to the resources available to young women.

“…These findings are consistent with the findings reported in the prior literature. For example, scholars have observed that young-adult social media users are more experienced in managing their online privacy (Madden and Smith, 2010; Young and Quan-Haase, 2013; Lang and Barton, 2015), and in utilizing privacy-preserving strategies (Strano and Wattai, 2010), as well as having a greater level of privacy concerns (Nosko et al, 2010) than older adults. Similarly, the prior literature also suggested that adolescent social media users possess lower online privacy concerns (Feng and Xie, 2014), self-disclose themselves online more often (Schouten et al, 2007), post content more frequently (Livingstone et al, 2010; Xie and Kang, 2015), and post more online content despite their privacy concerns (Madden et al, 2013; Feng and Xie, 2014) than young adults.…”

Do Online Privacy Concerns Predict Selfie Behavior among Adolescents, Young Adults and Adults?

et al. 2017

Selfies, or self-portraits, are often taken and shared on social media for online self-presentation reasons, which are considered essential for the psychosocial development and well-being of people in today’s culture. Despite the growing popularity and widespread sharing of selfies in the online space, little is known about how privacy concerns moderate selfie behavior. In addition to this, it is also not known whether privacy concerns across age and gender groups influence selfie behavior. To address this timely issue, a survey assessing common selfie behaviors, that is, frequency of taking (individual and group selfies), editing (cropping and filtering), and posting selfies online, and social media privacy concerns (over personal data being accessed and misused by third parties) was conducted. The web-survey was administered to 3,763 Norwegian social media users, ranging from 13 to 50 years, with a preponderance of women (n = 2,509, 66.7%). The present study investigated the impact of privacy concerns on selfie behaviors across gender and age groups (adolescent, young adult, and adult) by use of the structural equation modeling approach. The results suggest that young adults have greater privacy concerns compared to adolescents and adults. Females have greater privacy concerns than males. Greater privacy concerns among female social media users were linked to lower engagement in selfie behavior, but privacy concerns did not influence selfie behavior in the case of male adolescents and young adults. Overall, privacy concerns were more consistently and inversely related to selfie behavior (taking and posting) among females than males. The study results have theoretical as well as practical implications for both researchers and policy makers.

“…Adolescents often do not change their privacy settings from the default [132]. Even if adolescents use privacy settings, they tend to doubt their effectiveness and believe "urban myths" about privacy, such as schools' ability to hack into data regardless of privacy settings [133]. Data also indicate that adolescents tend to consider privacy for social reasons (e.g., maintaining an image) instead of for security reasons [133].…”
