Abstract
This Thesis focused on three fundamental factors to address the aforementioned issue. We attempted to determine the factors that affect privacy behavior. Our research findings revealed that there are numerous factors that can impact the outcomes. We continuously explored the scientific disciplines of psychology, sociology, philosophy, and health to discover methods for changing behavior. The Cognitive Theory and its extension, the Health Belief Model, have been applied in various disciplines to facilitate behavioral change. We combined the aforementioned theories with aspects that determine privacy behavior to create a conceptual scheme that could influence individuals' privacy behavior. We discovered in the same study that the mentioned theories are more effectively applied with experiential learning and teaching methods. We continuously researched the methods that have been applied to various fields and effectively changed individuals’ behavior. Research indicates that there is widespread agreement among academics that Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Behavior Transformation (CBTx) have been thoroughly and successfully tested in the past for changing individuals' behavior. These methods can also be utilized through neutral stimuli, practical assessments, and Motivational Interviews (MI) methods. Finaly, we introduced a new framework named Privacy Behavior Transformation Framework (PBTF) that incorporated all three methodologies described.
