Abstract :Content analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in this study, which aimed to examine adults\\\' approaches to privacy education. For this purpose, seven questions were asked to the participants about what privacy education is, its scope, importance, by whom it can be given, what to pay attention to, what can be done while providing privacy education, and behaviors that may constitute a violation of privacy. It was concluded that 105 adults who participated in the study think that privacy education is a necessary and important education for individuals to know their personal rights and limits. While it was found that most of the adults evaluated the concept of privacy as primarily physical, some of them expanded the scope to include digital privacy, emotional, intellectual, information, space, and property privacy. Participants also emphasized the necessity of privacy education to protect children from abuse. They stated that privacy education should be provided by families and, psychological counselors, psychologists, and educators. When all the findings were analyzed, it was seen that adults did not have a comprehensive knowledge of privacy awareness, which is an acquisition that should start at birth.
