Facebook self-disclosure: Examining the role of traits, social cohesion, and motives

Uses and Gratifications of digital photo sharing on Facebook

“…Previous literature on SNS gratifications recognizes disclosure as one of the prominent gratifications (Hollenbaugh & Ferris, 2014;Quan-Haase & Young, 2010). Furthermore, numerous platforms for sharing photos online encourage users to disclose information about themselves as well as their surroundings (Lee, 2009;Stefanone & Lackaff, 2009).…”

“…Older people engage mostly in online family activity (Muscanell & Guadagno, 2012), while the younger ones engage with Facebook to pass the time (Hollenbaugh & Ferris, 2014). Similarly, younger Facebook users are more inclined to disclosures compared to old users (Hollenbaugh & Ferris, 2014).…”

A Three-way Interaction Model of Information Withholding: Investigating the Role of Information Sensitivity, Prevention Focus, and Interdependent Self-Construal

“…However, compared to e-commerce and e-health, disclosing or withholding information is to some degree voluntary in SNS (Chang & Heo, 2014). E-commerce and e-health users will not voluntarily reveal personal information unless they are requested to provide specific information to complete a transaction or to get medical advice, whereas SNS users are encouraged to proactively disclose and share their daily activities, inner thoughts, and emotional states in the form of status updates, pictures, and other web content (Hollenbaugh & Ferris, 2014). Therefore, existing documents always examine information withholding in terms of static information (e.g., name, phone number, e-mail address) required by service providers, whereas this study focuses on the dynamic information that users may disclose or withhold in the process of their voluntary use of SNS, like updating status, sharing, commenting, and liking.…”

“…However, because of the increasing concerns raised by negative factors such as privacy issues, users become more reluctant to disclose their personal information in SNSs (Chang & Heo, 2014), which can be viewed as a manifestation of information withholding. To date, a burgeoning body of studies have identified factors that contribute to information disclosure in SNSs, whose different research models are based on theories of uses and gratification (Chang & Heo, 2014;Hollenbaugh & Ferris, 2014), social contract (Chang & Heo, 2014), privacy calculus (Krasnova, Spiekermann, Koroleva, & Hildebrand, 2010; Min & Kim, 2015), trust (Taddei & Contena, 2013), social capital (Trepte & Reinecke, 2013), Big Five personality (Chen, Widjaja, & Yen, 2015), or SNS flow (Kwak, Choi, & Lee, 2014). However, few studies have investigated the determinants of information withholding by SNS users.…”
