Abstract
Meeting teen users' privacy needs necessitates involving them in design processes. Prior work reached this objective on a smaller-scale using qualitative methods (i.e. co-design). However, we believe quantitative methods applied at a larger-scale will be crucial in more comprehensive understandings of teenage privacy perceptions. This preliminary poster, therefore, focuses on the quantifiable concept of privacy concerns and reviews existing literature to discern a clear definition and methods of measuring it, understand how said methods vary across contexts, and discuss the extent to which teenagers have been involved in said research. This study reveals the privacy concerns scale as an effective quantitative tool for understanding teenage users’ evaluations while also revealing a major flaw with existing privacy concerns scales in that they have been primarily designed for adults, even those used to assess teenage populations, potentially failing to address the unique privacy concerns of teenagers.
