Online Privacy among children and adolescents: view, concern and protection

The general aim of this study was to investigate how children and adolescents conceptualize online privacy and their concern about their online privacy using a developmental perspective, trying also to understand its impact on safe online surfing. Three studies were conducted: 1) A systematic review aimed to clarify the relative strengths and weaknesses of the literature about the construct of online privacy and online privacy concern among children and adolescents; 2) A qualitative study to understand how adolescents define - and consequently mean - the concept of online privacy; 3) A quantitative study aimed at addressing whether online surfing is associated with online privacy concern and with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) differently across different ages in adolescence.
