Summary

Back 18

As an interpersonal communicator, it is important to manage the dialectic tension between disclosure and privacy. Disclosure is revealing confidential or secret information. Privacy is withholding confidential or secret information to enhance autonomy and minimize vulnerability. Communication privacy management or CPM theory provides a framework for understanding the decision-making processes people used to manage disclosure in privacy. CPM asserts that each of us has developed rules about privacy and disclosure to guide our behaviors as we make choices to disclose or conceal personal information about our cells and about others. These rules are designed to maximize the benefits of disclosure while minimizing risks. The rules we used to guide our decisions about disclosure very with our culture, gender, motivation, context, and risk benefit analysis. The three most important ways that disclosure and privacy effect relationships are in terms of intimacy, expectations for reciprocity, and information co-ownership. Skills for self disclosure include owning, describing behavior, and describing feelings. Strategies for privacy management include changing the subject, masking feelings, and telling white lies, in addition to describing feelings and communicating boundaries. Skills for disclosing personal Feedback include asking for feedback comma describing behavior, praising, and constructively criticizing. The rapid development and frequent use of social media has transformed how we practice digital communication and manage your personal information. The attributes of social media and how we use those features have modded the line between what we considered public versus private communication. Warranting theory post-its that online information about the personal characteristics and behaviors of others will see more credible when it cannot be easily manipulated by the person whom it describes.
