CCT Peer Edit 2020 by Veronica

[edit]

Hi everyone, I'm a student of the CCT program at Georgetown University. I have been assigned to peer review this page for Professor Jeanine Turner's Communication Theory and Frameworks course. Though the page was quite well developed with a clear and organized structure, there are still some parts can be improved:
1. The opening overview can be edited into a brief one, one or two paragraph;
2. The five core principles mentioned in the opening overview can be moved to a separate section under a subtitle named as "Core Principles";
3. The "Assumption" part may need more explanations;
4. The "Academic Integration" part also needs more explanations, or maybe you can just delete this part;
5. In the "Critique part", the first sentence of "Criticism" said "Some researchers have questioned whether CPM theory truly is dialectical in nature." It would be better if we can find the original source and words like "some researchers" can be avoided;
6. I found some overlap of references in the reference list, if you have time, you can delete the overlapped references and check the format of those references.

Here are two references I found that might be helpful:
1. Zhu, Y.Q. & Kanjanamekanant, K. (2020). "No trespassing: exploring privacy boundaries in personalized advertisement and its effects on ad attitude and purchase intentions on social media". Information & Management. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.im.2020.103314
This article examines the contribution of the two boundary conditions (information boundary and social boundary) and the two relationship conditions (co-ownership relation and human-computer relation) to perceived privacy and ads effectiveness in the personalized ads context on social platforms, which may be applied in the "Boundary Cooperation" part.
2. Zhang, R.W. & Fu, J.S. (2020). "Privacy Management and Self-Disclosure on Social Network Sites: The Moderating Effects of Stress and Gender". Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, 25(3), 236–251. https://doi.org/10.1093/jcmc/zmaa004
This study discussed about the emotional component of privacy management online, which can be applied in the "Online Social Media" part.

I don't recall whether this theory addresses the issue of how people may consciously and/or subconsciously consider whether to disclose information; however, that seems relevant for inclusion (i.e., mention that the theory includes this consideration or does not address the matter). Otherwise, this reads well and seems thorough. --DMM78 (talk) 20:36, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review from Dur

[edit]

Hi Yuting,

I think you have covered all the shortcomings of the Communication Privacy Management Theory article in you progress report. I agree with you on the fact that the lead needs to explicitly state the main concept behind the theory and its components and that the comparison with Social Penetration Theory should be places elsewhere. I also suggest that you add a background section where you can explain the theory in more depth than the short abstract of the lead, so readers who are interested can gain a more thorough understanding of the theory before diving into the details of the following section

My suggestion is to think of incorporating several different examples that relate to the theory instead of adding a lengthy case study. I also think it would be interesting if you added a section that relates the Communication Privacy Management Theory to Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) and how privacy is managed in a different manner in virtual situations compared to real situations. My final suggestion is to change the “Strength and Weaknesses” title into “Critiques” and expand the content within this section to include scholarly criticism of the theory.

Best of Luck on this project! Dk802 (talk) 21:19, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hey Yuting!

There's definitely A LOT that needs to be done here to this article! I definitely think that because the article has been flagged for its lack of objectivity, cleaning up areas of the article to improve this will definitely get the article a raise in its quality. You are certainly right about the introduction; it is not written in an encyclopedic way and it doesn't achieve the conciseness that the introduction of an article should have.

Introducing visuals should certainly improve the article's quality; it might be difficult to do this, since privacy management behaviors usually aren't as easily observed or captured in images and film but any ones that you find will definitely have a positive impact on the article. Dur had a similar problem in her article with the Critique section so dissecting the strengths and weaknesses of the article in relation to the theory's heurism, scope, testability, and utility (though not in that explicit order) will give some context to the theory and will provide some great opportunities to link to other Wikipedia communication articles.

What do you think about discussing communication privacy management in the contexts of computer-mediated communication as well as from an organizational communication perspective? The WikiLeaks incident as well as the different instances of the ways the government classifies and protects information might be interesting additions to the article and might help readers to look at communication privacy management in different ways.

Peer Review from Scott

[edit]

Hi Lina, I agree with you that the article is very well structured and very concise. It presents an easily understandable summary at the beginning and flows nicely into the subcomponents of the theory. The examples which currently exist in the article are short and to the point, and provide well thought out explanations of the theory. I did notice that in the section under ‘Boundary Coordination,’ quick examples are presented for Boundary Linkage and Boundary Ownership, but not for Boundary Permeability. In order to maintain consistency, a short 1-2 sentence example may be presented for Boundary Permeability. A possible example could be how a team of two reporters may be reluctant to share the sources of their reporting with very few people. The more people they share the information with, let's say their editors, the greater the chance that their sources could become compromised.

The article is also very well written. A couple minor recommendations would be to add a few commas after introductory clauses, such as adding a comma after theory in the sentence, “To understand CPM theory it is important to follow the metaphor of the boundary.” Additionally, the sentence, “The decision to share is dependent ultimately left up to the process of the privacy rule management system which combine rules for coordination of information, characteristics of disclosure, and attributes of the nature of boundaries” under the ‘Theory Elements’ section appears to be a bit of a run-on. I think the word ‘dependent’ should be dropped.

A quick section could be added for ‘Related Theories.’ I believe Expectancy Violations Theory, Coordinated Management of Meaning, and Social Penetration Theory have attributes and arguments which are similar to CPM. A paragraph examining some of the similarities between the theories may add some insightful substance to the article. Overall, the article is very good. As it stands, it is a quick, easy read which affords the reader a thorough understanding of the theory. I would not attempt to add a great deal of additional text. Good luck!

Peer Review from Sherrie

[edit]

Hi Lina, nice job at improving this CPM page. In general, I think the page has covered all basic aspects in order to introduce the theory. I notice that you added a workplace application to the Theory application part, which is a very typical context and it definitely deserves attention here. Also, the additional research you cited to show that not all turbulence is negative is a great supplement to that part, because the previous version might result in bias.

Here are some suggestions from me and you may see if they are helpful. For the introduction at the beginning, you could try to convert the academic expression into a more easily understood way, or explain the academic terms right after it appears. For example, nonacademic readers may find it hard to understand what “coordinate privacy boundaries” means, so it would be better if an explanation is included here.

Second, for the Theory application part, I think there is something wrong with the subtitles. If you check the contents box at the beginning you would notice that only the workplace application part you added is shown, so you might want to edit the format of the other subtitles to make them all shown at the box and in consistency. Finally, for the Boundary turbulence part, I think separating the long paragraph into several ones could make it clearer and more readable.

In sum, the page is currently of high quality thanks to your editing. Look forward to see your final version

CCTP - 752 - Comm Theory & Frameworks - Peer Review

[edit]

Hey guys, this is the review section for CPM, feel free to post your thoughts and help me with a better page. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yj122 (talkcontribs) 19:54, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My vision on the page would fall into three aspects. First, I would like to enrich the "Theory application" entry. By adding more content to the social media and health communication parts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yj122 (talkcontribs) 22:29, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Second, I wanna make the "See also" entry more clear by adding description to the term link as well as to make them more specific.

Finally, I want to condense the body part of the theory introduction. For example, the boundary-based management system entry could be more integrated and more precise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yj122 (talkcontribs) 01:44, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So here's my questions: 1:How do you guys see the diagrams in this page, do you think I should add more diagrams to certain entries to make it more intuitive? 2:For the Theory applications entry, do you think I should elaborate on the existing terms or I should find more fields that CPM could be applied to? 3:I wanna add more contents to the Critique and Related theories entries, do you think it's necessary or it would be overwhelming to have to many contents from outside the theory?

Peer Review from Wanyu

[edit]

I like this wiki page a lot, it's easy and clear to keep the high quality explanation. However, I totally agree with your points to add a little bit more explanation into the application section. Since they just list each application and do not focus any of them, social media probably is the great open point to start, maybe you can find some related image to enrich the content instead of using texts. "See also" is sounds interesting to polish, I think you can summary each of then into served sentences or explain why three of them are necessary to your theory. Back to you question 3 that I don't think it's necessary to add more critique content at this moment, I suggest you to focus on application part and like you said add more diagrams if is possible. Good luck on your new section and look forward some final version from your point of view. --Yeahunicorn (talk) 03:07, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

[edit]

I think this page is well organized and is easily readable for a non-academic reader. I think you are on the right track with how you would like to improve the page. Both the social media and health communications sections only have one resource so adding additional sources can only help to strengthen those topics section. Depending on the sources you have, I think you could expand more within the relationship section as well. With only two sources, it could stand to have another source or two there to make it as dependable as the others with more than three sources. I also think the idea to put more information in the 'see also' section is interesting. You could even add additional links there since there are currently only a few listed.

I think the diagrams on the page are helpful. They are well placed and I wouldn't worry about necessarily adding more unless you can find helpful diagrams that also relate to the other theory elements. I think having them there helps to break up the text and provides helpful visuals for other types of learners and readers.

I actually think that the overview/intro section to the theory is well-done. It is easy to follow and understand. You might be able to edit it down a bit for length, but it is clear. Also, I agree that the critique section is lacking a little bit and could use a few more sources and information about current critiques. I like the "other theory" section, but I don't think you necessarily want to add too much information there.

Hope this helps!

Peer Review from Katherine Chow

[edit]

I think your goals for the page are exactly on point. The page has a lot of great information and is easy to understand at first glance. My first piece of feedback would be to enhance the "Background" section to include more details on the conception of Communication Privacy Management Theory. There isn't too much context on Altman and Taylor's roles. Also, is social penetration theory well-know to be directly linked to CPMT? If not, I would take that out of the background portion. You can also discuss how the theory evolved, beginning with it being communication boundary management and how it ended up being CPMT. If there were any changes or major additions, you could briefly describe those in this section.

The diagrams are really helpful to assist with describing elements of the theory. I think you could add a diagram within the "Boundary Coordination" or "Boundary Turbulence" sections, but it's not completely necessary if you would rather extend the content with more examples.

Elaborating on the existing terms in the Theory applications entries would be great. You could find 1-2 more sources and briefly describe those studies and results in conjunction with CPMT. Especially with Online Social Media, Health Communication and Relationship Issues, since they all only have 2 sources cited. In the Related Theories section, maybe you can specify on how these theories are related to CPMT and in what regard/capacity. For the "Critiques" portion, it might be good to enhance the information in "Values" and "Criticism". Adding a sentence or two of information, even from our textbook, would be helpful in rounding out the existing contents.

Hope this helps & let me know if I can clarify on anything!

[edit]

Hi!

I really like the way your page is organized. I think it helps because it's very clear, and you can progress through each section in a thoughtful manner. I think the introduction is really good- one thing I noticed, though, is that there are no citations in the introduction. I would add several citations in so that it's clear you're using sources from the beginning. Another thing I really like about the page is the "related theories." That's great because it gives people more options to explore. I think you can add to the critiques section and that would be beneficial. Otherwise, it all looks really good!

CCT Peer Review 2020 by Yao Yu

[edit]

Hi, Brenda! This is a super interesting theory you have! Especially now in the digital age, the discussion on privacy has more practical significance. As for the page, all the sections are explained thoroughly with a lot of useful information. Especially the diagram and images, they help me a lot when understanding the theory. However, some paragraphs seem a little abstruse to me and I hope you would contribute to them. So following is my advice on improving this page:

First, the opening paragraph. I agree with Veronica to consider removing the five core principles below. I wonder whether they are the same meaning as assumptions. If so, maybe it would a better choice to incorporate them together. Second, Background section. There are brief introductions on how CPM evolves. While in my mind, more information about how CPM connects to social penetration theory and self-disclosure would help readers to better understand. Also, I want to know more about why&how CPM was developed from the communication boundary management theory. Third, as you said, this is a relatively fresh theory comparing with others. Therefore, I would suggest adding more up-to-date studies in the Theory applications section, especially on online social media. This would bring the theory closer to our life experiences.

Additionally, I have two more recommend findings that may help you improve your page.

1. Petronio, Sandra, and Jeffrey T Child. “Conceptualization and Operationalization: Utility of Communication Privacy Management Theory.” Current Opinion in Psychology, vol. 31, 2020, pp. 76–82., doi:10.1016/j.copsyc.2019.08.009. https://www-sciencedirect-com.proxy.library.georgetown.edu/science/article/pii/S2352250X19301320

This is a recent publication that focuses on researches utilizing CPM concepts that cross different situations. Based on an overview of the CPM framework, researchers illustrated the way people disclose privacy and provided a clear view of how to conceptualize and operationalize the core components of CPM.

2. Liu, Zilong, and Xuequn Wang. “How to Regulate Individuals’ Privacy Boundaries on Social Network Sites: A Cross-Cultural Comparison.” Information & Management, vol. 55, no. 8, 2018, pp. 1005–1023., doi:10.1016/j.im.2018.05.006. https://www-sciencedirect-com.proxy.library.georgetown.edu/science/article/pii/S037872061730277X

This research studied how the effects of country coordination and boundary turbulence differ across cultures by collecting survey data both from the United States and China. The diagram on the page has already shown culture as a key decision criterion. The data and results in this study act as a strong proof, and would be beneficial to improve the rule-based management system section.

Hope this would help! --Yy557 (talk) 06:05, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Yao Yu[reply]

CCT Peer review 2021 by Yunjun Liu

[edit]

Hi, I am a student from Georgetown University CCT program. In my opinion, if the following changes can be made throughout the page, it would be more completed. Firstly, The content of the page is nondirectional and vague. The third section is "Theory elements". However, those elements are not completed. For example, from the book Theory of Human Communication, the author states three elements: privacy ownership, privacy control, and privacy turbulence. If those could be added to the key elements section, the overview of the theory will be clearer.

Moreover, the current page groups different information not so well. It is sometimes misunderstanding and misleading. The section of related theories needs to be improved. Currently, it states those theories and definitions. However, it failed to relate to the relationship of communication privacy management theory. In addition, based on my research, those theories that are connected with CPM has been proved by case studies. Thus, I believe if those development or discovery of the connection between those theories can be added, the section would be easier to be understood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yl1264 (talkcontribs) 03:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fall 2022 CCTP 752 Communication Theory and Frameworks Peer Review

[edit]

Hi, I am a Georgetown University student who is assigned to peer review this Wikipedia page.

Although Communication privacy management (CPM) owns a relatively short history in academia, this systematic and hierarchical theory has already been organized and written thoroughly so far on the Wikipedia page. Especially for application sections, there are plenty of examples in different areas including social media.

However, this causes some redundancies and confusion in column and section settings with anonymous collaboration. For example, according to Petronio (2013), Privacy turbulence should be one of three elements in CPM, but it is subject to boundaries, which confused me a little. Plus, the “Academic Integration” section seems isolated as it is parallel to other applications sections, and few contents make this section opaque compared to other sections. But I am not sure what exactly this refers to, I suggest changing the current textbook citation to a more specific one and adding more details and case studies to CPM’s interdisciplinary application.

Petronio, S. (2013). Brief status report on communication privacy management theory. Journal of Family Communication, 13(1), 6-14. Srk2310 (talk) 10:09, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Communication Theory and Frameworks Peer Review

[edit]

This page is well structured and offers a concrete description of what communication privacy management is. I particularly like the fact that CMP's five core principles are included in the introduction and further discussed in the "Theory elements" sections. The section for "Academic integration" is scant and does not adequately address how this particular concept relates to academia, aside from the brief mention of positivistic and interpretive approaches. However, I think that in and of itself offers opportunities to expand the discussion. For instance, a discussion of how this theory is applied to other social science discipline could further expand and validate the point about how CPM "utilizes socio-culutral tradition within interpersonal context." Additionally, adding a definition of positivistic and interpretive approaches would help many readers, especially those who are not too familiar with academic jargon.

[edit]

Per the peer review checklist this article looks to be in good condition. While the article is dense and theory heavy the content seems to be well represented and balanced. Every link and reference I checked seemed to function correctly and supported the content it was linked to. That being said there only the Rule-based Management System was without a supporting reference linked to the information. From what I can gather all information is unbiased and neutral and provides up to date and appropriate information on CPM. Noveljams (talk) 02:55, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Education assignment: Communication Theory and Frameworks - Peer Review

[edit]

In reviewing this article for an academic course, I have two main points of feedback for better representation of the theory: simplifying the language for the general public reading and formatting it to showcase the theory’s depth at a glance. As the article currently stands, communication privacy management theory is thoroughly documented with reference to critical researchers and showcases CPM's breadth of applicability and relevance in current cultural studies.

This topic does not need any further explanation or source links, but could benefit from the following edits for brevity to facilitate better understanding from a non-academic perspective:

The article's lead is quite long and does not provide a concise summary of the theory; instead, it jumps into an in-depth review of the theory. The first paragraph should be isolated to serve as a point of reference for the rest of the article, and an additional section for the ‘overview’ of the theory can follow to expand on the points in the second paragraph and bullet points further. This ‘overview’ section can also bring in the context of the theory’s background, assumptions, and motivations

Additionally, the images could be a stronger addition to the article if they had explicit references and the images complemented the terms presented in the text. The images, though applicable to the theory, do not clearly and definitively correlate to the text. Without additional reference or caption content, this gap does not facilitate a stable learning environment.

To best represent CPM’s elements and application, these two sections should be edited to better facilitate easy understanding of the topic by making the following edits:

The section on private information does not provide clear context for the definitions of terms: shareholder, stakeholder, and deliberate confidant. Definitions are essential to understand the role of specific terms in the theory, but are not well represented in this section. There are misplaced internal links that present these terms in ways that are different to the research context, which limits facilitation of understanding the context of terms as used in the theory.

The bulk of these sections on CPM's elements and application are written in a vague and passive tone, as mentioned in other talk posts. Overall, the information presented in the article can be simplified for easier reading, especially considering that most of the information in the CPM elements section comes from the same few sources. The section on theory applications is also lengthy and could be edited to have a single paragraph per topic with more specific subheadings to break down topics of interest for easy reviewing.

Lastly, the related theories and academic integration section can be removed and the content rehomed to other sections in the article. The links to other theories and academic context can be utilized to better develop an ‘overview’ section to provide readers with a clear understanding of the academic motivations and assumptions of the researchers and CPM's relevance in the field of communications research.
