Prywatność jako potrzeba w ramach koncepcji siebie
Privacy as a need "localized in" self-concept

Summary/Abstract: The article presents privacy as a multidimensional need “localized in” self-concept. The main purpose of the research was to find links between need for privacy and some other human needs. Two methods were used: ACL and Social Preferences Questionnaire. The results show that need for privacy is not merely the opposite of need for affiliation and cannot be reduced to a process of maintaining the individual’s autonomy. However, there are correlations between need of exhibition, need of heterosexual contacts, amount of revealing information (number of checked adjectives) and privacy. Additionally need for privacy is the same for women and men but associated with different elements of self-concept (for each sex).
