Privacy regulation theory was developed by social psychologist Irwin Altman in 1975. This theory aims to explain why people sometimes prefer staying alone but at other times like get involved in social interactions, discussing privacy as "a selective control of access to the self or to one's group".
In order to regulate our privacy successfully, we need to use a variety of behavioral mechanisms such as verbal, paraverbal and non-verbal behavior, environmental mechanisms of territoriality and personal space, etc.
By combining these behavioral mechanisms , we can effectively express our desired privacy level to others in order to achieve the optimum level of privacy.
