In spite of this, in the about fifteen years since the research on online privacy behavior emerged as a distinct field of scientific enquiry, experiments are but a few when compared to surveys and theoretical approaches, even adopting a broad definition of experiment. This article reviews all the experiments already done in the area and it also proposes a research agenda. Experimental techniques not only guide the building of descriptive theories but also serve to demonstrate or prove the adequacy of assumptions present in normative theory.enAtribución 4.0 Internacionalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessartículopersonal informationexperimentprivacynormative theorydescriptive theoryrational behaviorinconsistent behaviormeta-analysismethodological review
