Paradigmatic Continuum of Communication Theory

On the paradigmatic continuum of communication theory, Communication Privacy Management Theory falls under the socio-cultural tradition or the cybernetic tradition depending on how a study is conducted, or the situation is evaluated. This means that CPM can fall under an objective or interpretive study.

A cybernetic tradition is one in which a system of information and a network of communication are analyzed. This can include the workplace; families, etc. so it is highly applicable to some studies of CPM, like the “Privacy Orientations as a Function of Family Communication Patterns” study, studies on Facebook use in the office, etc. A socio-cultural study can include any study where communication in terms of language effect on culture and vice versa is analyzed, as well as when cultural norms are analyzed. The study on family also is a sociocultural study, as well as the study on familial financial matters, and e-health disclosure.
