Psychological privacy is the idea that visual cues may influence perceptual processes to evoke a sense of being in a private space or being in a public area. We conducted two experiments to investigate this. Participants answered questions varying in sensitivity and rated the extent the answers would be disclosed. In Experiment 1 (N = 74), we displayed eye cues that watched the participants or watched the input area, or showed no eye cues while participants completed the questions. Participants who did not report feeling watched by the cues disclosed less information when the eyes were watching the input area than when no eye cues were shown. This indicated that observing the input area while data is entered could shift how much information is disclosed. In Experiment 2 (N = 130), the experimenters watched either the participants or the input area while participants completed the questions. Those who scored high on the public self-awareness scale gave low disclosure scores to answers for sensitive questions. Being observed by the experimenters did not affect information disclosure. Taken together, the data suggests that the individual's sense of public awareness plays a role in guiding whether information would be disclosed. This means that visual cues that elicit a sense of public awareness could induce greater vigilance for information sharing.
