Hoofdstuk 12 Flashcards
What is the Communication Privacy Management Theory?
The Communication Privacy Management (CPM) Theory examines the balancing act between revealing and withholding personal information. It explores the boundaries of privacy and how individuals manage and coordinate those boundaries in relationships.
What are the assumptions of the CPM Theory?
The assumptions of the CPM Theory include humans as choice makers, rule makers, and rule followers. People’s choices and rules are influenced by cultural, gender, and contextual factors. Relational life is characterized by change, and contradiction is a fundamental aspect of relationships.
What is private information according to the CPM Theory?
Private information refers to information that deeply matters to a person. Private disclosures are the process of communicating such private information to others. CPM emphasizes the substance of disclosures and examines how they are managed through a rule-based system.
What are the different types of boundaries in the CPM Theory?
The CPM Theory distinguishes between collective boundaries, which involve sharing private information with more than one person, and personal boundaries, where private information remains with an individual. Boundaries can vary in their permeability and may change over time.
What is the concept of control and ownership in the CPM Theory?
Control and ownership refer to individuals feeling a sense of ownership over their private information and the desire to control who has access to it. The theory recognizes that more restricted boundaries can be helpful in certain situations and that openness can be excessive.
What are the processes of the Privacy Rule Management System in the CPM Theory?
The Privacy Rule Management System involves the characteristics and development of privacy rules, the acquisition and properties of rules, boundary coordination to manage co-owned private information, and the turbulence that arises when boundary coordination is unclear or conflicts with expectations.
What is boundary turbulence in the CPM Theory?
Boundary turbulence occurs when there is uncertainty or conflicts in boundary coordination, leading to clashes and challenges in managing privacy expectations. It requires individuals to make adjustments to reduce turbulence and achieve coordination.
How does the CPM Theory view privacy management in relationships?
The CPM Theory recognizes that privacy management is a continual balancing act and that the disclosure or withholding of private information has effects on relationships and individuals. It emphasizes the rule-based management of privacy and the dynamic nature of privacy boundaries.
