프라이버시 염려에 대한 메타분석: 국내 문헌을 대상으로

Korean research on privacy has lately been increasing in quantity but are still inadequate in quality. Hence it is necessary to collect all the Korean research on privacy carried out up till now in order to identify how they have been conducted and discuss the direction of the future researc to be performed. Accordingly, this study collected Korean literature on the privacy concern construct that has been the core concept and carried out meta-analysis. In this study integrated based on the measuring model of privacy concern and the relationships between privacy concern and other factors was thoroughly examined. We searched major social science database in order to conduct an integrated research on privacy concern and finally, this study includes a total of 49 research papers. The results of this study are as the following. First, the antecedents of privacy concern did not appear as diversely as written in foreign literature but could be largely classified as personal characteristic, the other party’s characteristic, social characteristic and informational characteristic. Second, although the foreign literature showed there have been active discussions on the relationship between privacy concern and trust, the most Korean literature showed privacy concern as an antecedent of trust, indicating they are not well aware of current developments. Moreover, the foreign literature used the most privacy risk as the determinant of privacy concern whereas the domestic literature showed the exactly opposite result. Third, the privacy concern construct has mostly been measured with uni-dimensional concept and the research with multi-dimensional concept has been mainly measured by CFIP and IUIPC model. As the time passes, the studies measuring according to their original purposes with the multi-dimensional measuring model are on a rise but there still are many studies measuring thoughtlessly without clear understanding. This study is expected to contribute in the development of domestic privacy research in future by providing a general trend of Korean privacy research.
