ABSTRACT
Privacy is a nexus term in psychology and culture; the concept intersects directly with ideas of boundaries, openness, secrecy, and rights. Altman and Newell together provide a panoramic view of the history of cultural differences in perceptions of privacy. Recent research tends to focus on privacy vs. exposure across social media and on the potential for technological intrusion into private affairs. Karniel and Lavie-Dinur examine how concepts of privacy in Israel are affected by the shift toward a more open, communicative, and individualistic society. Survey to find experiences of privacy violations in earlier educational and family environments; grade and junior-high teachers in the United States are sometimes quite intrusive in their management of electronic communications, and parents transgressions into personal space increase during adolescence. Form groups, and, after discussing the relative need for privacy among each, have each group design a living space that would accommodate both socialization and privacy.
