  text: This article reports on two user studies exploring the knowledge of end users
    about technical processes of technology-enhanced home environments, which are
    often assumed to play an important role for attitudes such as privacy and security.
    In the first study (n=12 participants between 19-71 years of age), we analyzed
    user knowledge about technical processes using the teach-back methodology. In
    the second study, we additionally applied new developed questionnaires and analyzed
    participants’ data (n=24 participants between 19-76 years of age) regarding relations
    of user factors, users’ knowledge about technical processes and attitudes such
    as privacy and security of technology-enhanced environments. In contrast to existing
    assumptions, the results showed that general structural knowledge about technical
    processes was not related with attitudes such as privacy and security. Additionally,
    we found that most participants had only relatively superficial knowledge about
    technical processes, which was further influenced by age and technology experience.
