“…Although originally designed as a multidimensional scale measuring privacy boundary permeability, linkages, and ownership (Child et al, 2009), newer research by Child and colleagues has treated the scale as a unidimensional measure (e.g., Child, Duck, Andrews, Butauski, & Petronio, 2015; Child et al, 2012), with higher scores indicating overall more open, public management of social media disclosure. For the purposes of this study, the unidimensional score was used when comparing privacy management between Facebook and Snapchat.…”

Guided by communication privacy management theory, this study tested network size, network diversity, privacy concerns, and privacy management practices in and between Facebook and Snapchat for social media natives. A cross-sectional survey of 273 college students (predominately Caucasian, female, 18- to 20 years old) showed that audiences were larger and more diverse in Facebook than Snapchat. Snapchat users with larger friend lists and lower privacy concerns reported more shared boundary ownership, whereas those with more diverse networks reportedly used more open friending practices to expand their connections. Higher privacy concerns were related to more restrictive privacy management practices in both mediums, and participants were overall more open on Snapchat than on Facebook. Theoretical and practical implications were presented in efforts to inform future research.

“…In other words, when their families have open communication offline, young people also tend to participate in communicating with their parents online. Child et al (2015) had similar findings—families which were open and tolerant of privacy tended to have open communication offline at home about family members’ posts on social media.…”

“…In other words, when their families have open communication offline, young people also tend to participate in communicating with their parents online. Child et al (2015) Accepting parents as friends on Facebook just needs one click, but parent-child interactions after "friending" are complicated. On the one hand, Kanter, Afifi, and Robbins's (2012) experiment reported that family relationships improved within the first 2 months after friending parents among college students who had experienced conflicts with their parents.…”

“…The existing literature on young people's "friending" their parents on social media primarily uses cross-sectional surveys to find or verify variables predicting the acceptance of parents' "friending" requests (e.g., Ball, Wanzer, & Servoss, 2013;Child, Duck, Andrews, Butauski, & Petronio, 2015;Child & Westermann, 2013). Research suggests that theoretical constructs from communication privacy management (CPM) theory (e.g., Petronio, 2010Petronio, , 2013Petronio & Altman, 2002) and family communication patterns (FCPs) theory (e.g., Koerner & Fitzpatrick, 2002) will predict young people's willingness to accept parents on social media.…”

What happens after young adults’ “friending” of parents? A qualitative study about mediated family communication and privacy management in China

The existing literature on “friending” parents on mobile social media has focused on the momentary decision of accepting the “friending” requests. In addition, a major body of research on privacy management online focuses on predicting privacy protection behaviors based on samples primarily from the United States. This in-depth qualitative study employs focus groups to explore how Chinese young people interact with their parents after accepting them as friends on WeChat, a popular mobile social application in China. Many participants reported privacy turbulence due to parental interference with young adults’ expression of their own values and behaviors on WeChat, which reflects the deep conflict between the collectivistic culture (the parental generation) and the individualistic culture (young adults) in contemporary Chinese society. This study also finds that a family’s offline communication is generally parallel to its online communication on mobile social media after young people’s friending of parents.

“…Similar to how edutainment communication strategies take advantage of engaging storyline opportunities to insert health messages (Guéguen, 2002), social media group chats are channels where families discuss day-to-day topics and offer comfortable environments as opportunities for talking about health (Coughlin et al, 2016; Zhang & Jung, 2018). The group chat intervention leverages existing family networks to influence Vietnamese family members’ willingness to comply with recommended health screenings (Child et al, 2015; Schmid et al, 2008; Taipale & Farinosi, 2018). FHAs facilitate conversations, provide bilingual educational material, and can schedule appointments for family members when necessary.…”

Vietnamese Americans are disproportionately affected by preventable late-stage cancers. This study capitalizes on the protective role of family networks to develop an online social media family group chat intervention promoting cancer screening among Vietnamese American families. A feasibility study was conducted to assess implementing Let’s Chat, a 4-week intergenerational family group chat intervention to increase cancer screenings. Vietnamese American young adults were trained to act as family health advocates on their private family group chats and share cancer screening messages. The intervention covered material on recommended screenings for colonoscopy for those aged 45+ years, HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccination for young adults, and Pap testing for women. Ten families ( n = 41) participated. Family group chat content analysis resulted in (a) sharing personal screening experiences, (b) family members being prompted to schedule cancer screening appointments after discussions in the chat, and (c) family members expressing a sense of urgency to follow up with cancer screening. Postintervention survey results revealed that 48% of participants received screening/vaccination, 77% reported intent to schedule an appointment to discuss recommended screenings, 61% reported discussing cancer screenings outside their group chat, 84% felt comfortable discussing screenings with family after the intervention, and 68% agreed that the group chat facilitated comfort around cancer screening discussions. Family members reported feeling closer to their family and greater comfort discussing cancer and cancer screening. Results from the Let’s Chat feasibility study indicate promise for implementing a randomized trial conditional on grouping family chats by age and gender to increase cancer screenings among Vietnamese American families.
