Five Core Principles of Petrino's Theory
1. People believe they own and have the right to control their private information.
2. People control their private information through the use of personal and privacy rules
3. When others are told or given access to a person's private information, they become co-owners of that information.
4. Co-owners of private information need to negotiate mutually agreeable privacy rules about telling others.
5. When co-owners of private information don't effectively negotiate and follow mutual held privacy rules, boundary turbulence is the likely result.

In Communication Management Theory these are the five main factors that play a key role in the way we develop our own privacy rules:
1. Culture
