The reciprocal effects of social network site use and the disposition for self-disclosure: A longitudinal study
چکیده انگلیسی

Since the advent of social network sites (SNSs), scholars have critically discussed the psychological and societal implication of online self-disclosure. Does Facebook change our willingness to disclose personal information? The present study proposes that the use of SNSs and the psychological disposition for self-disclosure interact reciprocally: Individuals with a stronger disposition show a higher tendency to use SNSs (selection effect). At the same time, frequent SNS use increases the wish to self-disclose online, because self-disclosing behaviors are reinforced through social capital within the SNS environment (socialization effect). In a longitudinal panel study, 488 users of SNSs were surveyed twice in a 6 months interval. Data were analyzed using structure equation modeling. The proposed reciprocal effects of SNS activities and self-disclosure were supported by the data: The disposition for online self-disclosure had a positive longitudinal effect on SNS use which in turn positively influenced the disposition for online self-disclosure. Both effects were moderated by the amount of social capital users received as a consequence of their SNS use.


• We model the mutual reciprocity of SNS use and online self-disclosure.
• In a longitudinal panel study 488 users of SNS were surveyed twice.
• Online self-disclosure influences social network site use (selection effect).
• Social network site use influences online self-disclosure (socialization effect).
• Selection- and socialization effects are moderated by social capital.
