State weather this experience confirms the assumptions of Communication Privacy Management Theory Principle and provide reason:
1. I was ounce in a WhatsApp group chat we were talking about how to study criminology
However, i made it clear that a few discussions or information provided within the group needs to be kept private and should not be shared outside of the group without consent
This experience confirms the assumptions of Communication Privacy Management Theory Principle, which states that individuals make decisions about whether to disclose or withhold private information based on factors such as their perceived ownership of the information, the potential benefits of disclosure, and the potential risks of disclosure. In this scenario, by explicitly stating to the group that certain discussions or information should be kept private and not shared without consent, the individual is asserting ownership of the information and setting boundaries for its disclosure. This demonstrates their understanding of the need to manage and control their private information within the group chat, in line with the principles of Communication Privacy Management Theory.
