Privacy,which is a psychological concept,is people#8217;s attitude towards the objective environment. Privacy reveals a kind of psychological environment. The traditional view thinks that there is no privacy in Orientalism,even in Chinese language,there is no suitable word can reflect the meaning of privacy. Therefore,most of the research about privacy is based on the achievements and viewpoints of Western cultural scholars. Altman thought that privacy is a selective control mechanism that allows people to come into contact with a particular one or group. Westin once divided privacy into four parts. First,intimacy,it means be on very intimate terms with each other. Second,anonymity,it means the state of being nameless.Fourth,self-control,it means a psychological restraint to prevent unnecessary harassment. Research on privacy in our country started late. In 1996,He Daokuan analyzed privacy of Chinese. From the perspective of cultural differences,the author analyzed the similarities and differences between China and Western countries,he noted that the core of Chinese people#8217;s privacy is collectivism. Cui Suhua analyzed the root of the differences between Chinese and Western concept of privacy,his research helped to promote mutual understanding between the Chinese and Western people and promote the smooth conduct of international exchanges. Even though everyone has different views on the concept of privacy,these views all come from people''s reflection on the objective environment.
