QUESTIONS TO SHARPEN YOUR FOCUS
1. In Principle 2, Petronio cites five foundational criteria that affect our personal privacy rules . Which factor most shapes the rules you adopt? Is there one factor that seems to include or trump the other four?
2. Petronio states that ownership and control of private information don’t always go together. Can you imagine a situation where you are the sole owner of a secret yet have no control over its disclosure or discovery?
3. CPM states that those who are privy to private information can avoid boundary turbulence by negotiating mutual privacy rules . Why do you think that many disclosers and their confidants fail to have this discussion?
4. CPM is a rules theory that is supported by qualitative research . Why would a quantitative researcher have a problem testing the theory using an experimental design?
