| Popis | Social Networking Sites (SNS) play an important role in the daily lives of adolescents by helping them to develop two core developmental characteristics -- identity and intimacy. SNS can also contribute to developing adolescents’ identities by eliciting peer feedback (Valkenburg & Peter, 2011). However, children’s unpleasant experiences with the misuse of their online personal information are among the rapidly increasing online risks, as reported by children ages 9-16 in the Net Children Go Mobile (2012-14) and EU Kids Online III (2012- 14) projects. These troublesome situations -- e.g., dealing with impersonation through hacked accounts (with the impersonator sending rude messages to damage reputation) or dealing with slanderous pages created by peers -- pose challenges to young people’s need for creating and maintaining their online identity in the context of their peer relationships. The types of problematic situations related to privacy issues and Personal Data Misuse (PDM) were purposefully chosen to illustrate young people’s challenges for self-presentation and online impression management as key components of building identity. This chapter will further reflect on the need for revisiting the research agenda for adolescent identity development in the context of online personal data misuse. |
