Title
Adolescents, online marketing and privacy : predicting adolescents' willingness to disclose pesonal information for marketing purposes
Author
Abstract
The present study aims at exploring which factors predict the willingness of adolescents to disclose personal information in response to online marketing requests. Our analyses show that especially privacy concerns and perceived benefits explain a considerable portion of variance in both willingness to disclose profile data (e.g. age, hobbies, favourite products) and contact data (e.g. phone number, e-mail address, home address). An interesting interrelationship was found between profile data and contact data disclosure. Contrary to our expectations, parental mediation strategies were only a weak predictor of teenagers willingness to disclose contact information. Policy implications that emerge from the central findings of this study are discussed.
