A bumpy ride on the information superhighway: Exploring turbulence online

作者:

Highlights:

• Privacy management online requires both social and technological skills/behaviors.

• More than a third of young adults in the sample reported privacy turbulence online.

• Emotional repercussions were more common than tangible fallouts (e.g., job loss).

• Those with higher Internet skills are less likely to experience online turbulence.

• Turbulence online may be more attributable to others’ behaviors than one’s own.
