“…This study adopted theoretical models and a new integrated model to evaluate the intentions of use and key relationships to determine the factors that influence social media. The structural equation model and the integrated technology acceptance model were employed for exploration (Beyens et al 2016;Choi and Land 2016;Liu et al 2016;Marino et al 2016), as it has been shown that these issues remain important. Only by correcting the problems of these relevant factors and enhancing the quality and appeal of social networks can social networks attract new users and motivate current users to continue to use social networks.…”

Social networks have become an indispensable activity in people's lives. A number of previous studies have investigated various social networks and probed in the core knowledge of integrated social networks. While social network knowledge is general and extensive, few studies have delved into the core knowledge of individual social networks, especially Facebook, which is a social network with over 1.7 billion users worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed to elaborate on the core knowledge of Facebook. In this study, a total of 4429 relevant academic papers were collected from the Web of Science, an online electronic database. Then, citation analysis and co-citation analysis were adopted to identify 50 highly cited academic papers to form a co-citation matrix. Finally, cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling analysis were employed to determine the core knowledge of Facebook. The research results showed that there are six points of core knowledge: (1) the behavior analysis of users; (2) the social impact of social networks; (3) the influence and application of Facebook in universities; (4) the evaluation of use motivation and theoretical models; (5) privacy risk and interpersonal impression; and (6) the strategies of social networks. The research results could be useful for academic studies and practice in the future.

“…Privacy means that individuals choose what information they share and with whom, using the privacy controls on OSNs, which has been explained similarly for offline conversations in Communication Privacy Management theory [ 12 , 13 ]. The Communication Privacy Management theory was also used in the investigation on privacy issues associated with Facebook apps, where researchers found that the collection of information, the monitoring of profiles and general privacy concerns affect users’ privacy concerns and, with this, also their willingness to share their profiles with a Facebook app, but, on the other hand, that users also often misunderstand what data Facebook apps are collecting on them and their settings do not correspond to their privacy concerns [ 14 , 15 ]. In regard to privacy control, users usually have more closed profiles on Facebook if they spend more time on Facebook, and if their friends have closed profiles [ 16 ].…”

Online Social Networks are used widely, raising new issues in terms of privacy, trust, and self-disclosure. For a better understanding of these issues for Facebook users, a model was built that includes privacy value, privacy risk, trust, privacy control, privacy concerns, and self-disclosure. A total of 602 respondents participated in an online survey, and structural equation modeling was used to evaluate the model. The findings indicate significant relationships between the constructs in this study. The model from our study contributes new knowledge to privacy issues, trust and self-disclosure on Online Social Networks for other researchers or developers of online social networks.

“…Several studies have investigated the influence of IPCs, social norms, and personality traits on intention to use—albeit from different perspectives ( Baek et al., 2014 ; Ahn et al., 2015 ; Mohammed and Tejay, 2017 ). For example, some studies have primarily focused on either the Facebook apps themselves ( Symeonidis et al., 2018 ), transactional privacy when using apps ( Choi and Land, 2016 ), privacy risks ( Farnden et al., 2015 ), privacy concerns when using apps ( Golbeck and Mauriello, 2016 ; Wisniewski et al., 2017 ), or the relationship between users’ age and privacy management ( Pang and Zhang, 2015 ; Kezer et al., 2016 ). The studies that have in fact explored the behavioral influence of information privacy have done so within an organizational context in which social media formed only one component of the larger questionnaire ( Parsons et al., 2017 ).…”

The unauthorized use of personal information belonging to users of apps integrated with the Facebook platform affects millions of users. Crucially, although privacy concerns and awareness have increased, the use of these apps, and related privacy behaviors, remain largely unchanged. Given that such privacy behaviors are likely influenced by individuals' personality traits, it is imperative to better understand which personality traits make individuals more vulnerable to such unauthorized uses. We build on a recontextualized version of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to evaluate the influence of the Big Five personality traits on attitudes toward Facebook privacy settings, social norms, and information privacy concerns (IPCs)—all within the context of Facebook app use. To evaluate this study's model, we analyzed 576 survey responses by way of partial least squares path modeling. Results indicate that highly extraverted individuals are particularly vulnerable to privacy violations (e.g., unauthorized use of personal information) because of their negative attitudes toward Facebook privacy settings. Our post hoc analysis uncovered interesting combinations of personality traits that make individuals particularly vulnerable to the unauthorized use of app-based information. In particular, the combination of extraversion and conscientiousness had a negative effect on individuals' attitude toward privacy settings. We also found a significant negative relationship between IPCs and intention to use Facebook apps . Finally, we found a positive relationship between social norms and intentions. Taken together, these results infer that individuals are likely to be influenced by their peers in the use of Facebook apps but that their intentions to use these apps declines as privacy concerns increase.
