Keeping Safe Repertoire
participants could operate without becoming victims of harmful and deceptive acts by employing a number of strategies for keeping themselves safe.
Within the repertoire of keeping safe, three key resources were identified: happens to others, stranger danger, and personal judgement.
Happens to Others Resource
By maintaining a distinction between online and offline worlds in relation to the disclosure of intimate and personal details and the development of relationships, Sarah and Daphne protect themselves from experiencing harmful consequences. This safety mechanism also functions to present participants (including people with disabilities) as responsible and competent online users, who possess the knowledge and skills required to maintain their safety.
Stranger Danger Resource
By avoiding interactions where the potential for danger is high, inclusive of chatrooms full of strangers, conversations with unknown individuals, and real-time interactions, Janine, Bridgette, and Sally-Ann protect themselves from potentially harmful consequences.
Personal Judgement Resource
These secure experiences can be sustained by Karen’s ability to rely on her own judgement in protecting herself from deception and danger. Protecting herself from danger by developing strategies to identify dubious characters, and the degree of trust engaged in online interaction, both function to affirm (in)directly Karen’s online engagement.
