TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Gender and Online Privacy among Teens: Risk Perception, Privacy Concerns, and Protection Behaviors JO - Cyberpsychology and behavior A1 - Youn, Seounmi A1 - Hall, K. SP - 763 EP - 765 VL - 11 IS - 6 N2 - Abstract Survey data from 395 high school students revealed that girls perceive more privacy risks and have a higher level of privacy concerns than boys. Regarding privacy protection behaviors, boys tended to read unsolicited e-mail and register for Web sites while directly sending complaints in response to unsolicited e-mail. This study found girls to provide inaccurate information as their privacy concerns increased. Boys, however, refrained from registering to Web sites as their concerns increased.
