“…However, in comparison, a recent study by Xie and Kang (2015) observed that social media users with high levels of privacy concern actually disclose more personal information, consistent with the ‘privacy paradox’ phenomenon. The relationship between privacy concerns and activities pertaining to online self-presentation is also unclear.…”

Selfies, or self-portraits, are often taken and shared on social media for online self-presentation reasons, which are considered essential for the psychosocial development and well-being of people in today’s culture. Despite the growing popularity and widespread sharing of selfies in the online space, little is known about how privacy concerns moderate selfie behavior. In addition to this, it is also not known whether privacy concerns across age and gender groups influence selfie behavior. To address this timely issue, a survey assessing common selfie behaviors, that is, frequency of taking (individual and group selfies), editing (cropping and filtering), and posting selfies online, and social media privacy concerns (over personal data being accessed and misused by third parties) was conducted. The web-survey was administered to 3,763 Norwegian social media users, ranging from 13 to 50 years, with a preponderance of women (n = 2,509, 66.7%). The present study investigated the impact of privacy concerns on selfie behaviors across gender and age groups (adolescent, young adult, and adult) by use of the structural equation modeling approach. The results suggest that young adults have greater privacy concerns compared to adolescents and adults. Females have greater privacy concerns than males. Greater privacy concerns among female social media users were linked to lower engagement in selfie behavior, but privacy concerns did not influence selfie behavior in the case of male adolescents and young adults. Overall, privacy concerns were more consistently and inversely related to selfie behavior (taking and posting) among females than males. The study results have theoretical as well as practical implications for both researchers and policy makers.

“…One of the main features of using SNS is disclosing one's personal information which can be both, verbal and non-verbal. Verbal disclosure refers to sharing person identifiable information (e.g., name, surname, e-mail), opinions, ideas or thoughts and feelings (Valkenburg, Sumter, & Peter, 2011;Xie & Kang, 2015). Nowadays non-verbal self-disclosure, especially photo disclosure, becomes to be a widely spread phenomenon among adolescents on SNS (Anderson & Jiang, 2018;Grigutytė, Raižienė, Pakalniškienė, & Povilaitis, 2018): teens more than ever are into communication online through sharing their photos.…”

Researchers state that adolescents are likely to engage in risky photo disclosure online, which might be related to their emotions and personal characteristics. Research Questions: How positive and negative emotions when sharing risky photos online are related to adolescents' risky photo disclosure online? How important personal characteristics are related to adolescents' risky photo disclosure online? The purpose of this study is to find out how positive and negative emotions are related to adolescents' tendency to engage in risky photo disclosure and how personal characteristics (narcissism, social anxiety and privacy concern) are related to such kind of behaviour. A randomised cross-sectional survey with a hardcopy questionnaire, based on the measures of variety of the forms of risky photo disclosure online (e.g., sharing nude photos); frequency of risky photo disclosure when feeling positive and negative emotions; personal characteristics (social anxiety, narcissism and privacy concern) was conducted in 2019. 459 adolescents (59.1% female) aged 12-17 years old (M=14.55, SD=1.24) participated in the study. The results of the study showed that positive and negative emotions towards sharing risky photos on risky photo disclosure online (F=136.85, p<.001) explains 56% of actual adolescents' risky photo disclosure, with the strongest predictor of positive emotions (β=0.82, p˂α); personal characteristics (F=8.57, p˂α) explain only 9.6% of risky photo disclosure online, with the strongest predictor of narcissism (β=0.25, p˂α). According to the results, we conclude that positive emotions towards sharing risky photos online and more expressed narcissistic personality trait increases adolescents' tendency to engage in risky photo disclosure online.

Facebook is still the most popular social media tool among all types of social networks. Besides having an influence on managing online relationships, Facebook may also be determinative of people"s relationships and interactions in their daily lives. Self-disclosure underpins the establishment and maintenance of interpersonal communication. Social networks, especially Facebook, allow people to comfortably selfdisclose. The Uses and Gratifications Theory, which focuses on motives and gains related to the use of media, suggests that the use of social networks also motivates people in terms of meeting some of their social and psychological needs. In this sense, the most important motive may be described as selfdisclosure. With its various spaces, Facebook allows people to share their emotions and thoughts about themselves and other people, and this gives them a sense of gratification by creating a real relationship perception in everyday life. As a result of self-disclosure behaviour, various needs, such as information sharing, entertainment, relaxation and social interactions, are satisfied through virtual environment. According to Social Information Theory, the rate of sharing personal information on social networks may be similar to/more than their everyday face-to-face interactions. This study analyzes different methods and ways of self-disclosure through Facebook. With this purpose in mind, the researchers aim to reveal the selfdisclosure behaviours through the profiles of their Facebook friends based on pre-designated codes by utilizing qualitative content analysis method.
