Abstract

Purpose This study aims to explore the main concerns and attitudes Basque adolescents have regarding online privacy. It analyzes their motivations for sharing private information and the kind of information they share. Likewise, it examines whether they consider the potential consequences of revealing certain information online and analyzes if there are any differences between the motivations and attitudes of young people from Gipuzkoa and Labourd. Design/methodology/approach For this study, three methods were combined to collect the data in 17 schools in the Basque provinces of Gipuzkoa and Labourd: a survey carried out among 1,133 students, out of which 242 also completed a diary and 482 took part in discussion groups. Findings The data from this research does not fully support the “youth cultures of disclosure” (James, 2009) in the Basque Country; however, some of these practices have been observed. Originality/value Time spent online by adolescents has increased sharply in recent years. This increase has brought with it concerns about youth’s level of awareness regarding online privacy. This is the first cross-border study conducted in the Basque Country addressing this topic (in the Basque Autonomous Community, administratively belonging to Spanish territory, and in the Northern Basque Country, administratively in French territory).

青年与网络隐私:巴斯克地区的跨境研究

目的本研究旨在探讨巴斯克青少年对网络隐私的主要关注和态度。它分析了他们分享私人信息的动机和他们分享的信息类型。同样，它也调查了他们是否考虑到在网上透露某些信息的潜在后果，并分析了Gipuzkoa和工党年轻人的动机和态度之间是否存在差异。设计/方法/方法本研究采用三种方法收集巴斯克省Gipuzkoa和labour省17所学校的数据:对1133名学生进行调查，其中242名学生完成了日记，482名学生参加了讨论小组。本研究的数据并不完全支持巴斯克地区的“青年披露文化”(James, 2009);然而，其中一些做法已经被观察到。创意/价值近年来，青少年上网的时间急剧增加。这一增长引起了人们对年轻人在线隐私意识水平的担忧。这是在巴斯克地区针对该主题进行的第一次跨境研究(在巴斯克自治区，行政上属于西班牙领土，在北巴斯克地区，行政上属于法国领土)。
