The SoPrivAdo project has officially started! At the kick-off meeting, all project partners presented their tasks and exchanged initial ideas to jointly research the social influences on privacy decisions. We are looking forward to an exciting collaboration!
In May, we are looking for participants age 18 to 25 for our 2-hour focus groups. No prior knowledge is required, and participants will receive 30€ to reimburse them for expenses. Are you interested? Then simply send us a short e-mail. We hope to be able to share our results with all interested parties shortly.
Fourteen adolescents and young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 participated in our focus groups. We gained exciting insights into the privacy decisions of our target group. Initial results will be published at the end of the year in our white paper on the preliminary research for the project.
This year, the annual conference of the Plattform Privatheit was centered on the topic of “Data Protection and Digital Policy in Times of Crisis”. In addition to stimulating discussions and diverse insights from various disciplines, Jennifer Klütsch from TRA Work and Engineering Psychology (RWTH Aachen), Ann-Sophie Schenk from the Chair Individual and Technology (iTec, RWTH Aachen) and Fabian Wörz from the JFF - Institute for Media Education in Research and Practice had the opportunity to present our interdisciplinary project at the networking meeting and in the subsequent poster session of the annual conference.
