Self-disclosure on SNS: Do disclosure intimacy and narrativity influence interpersonal closeness and social attraction?

“…We found a direct or indirect positive effect (via perceived entertainment value) of narrativity on closeness and social attraction. It supported previous research claiming that entertaining posts on social media can bring people closer to each other (Lin et al., 2016, Utz, 2015), and addressed the role of humor in interpersonal relationship formation (Treger, Sprecher, & Erber, 2013). …”

“…Disclosure narrativity of the target posts was measured with three self-created items about disclosure coherence (e.g., “ not coherent-coherent” ). Previous research found that the entertainment value of messages significantly predicts the feeling of closeness to the discloser on social media (Lin et al., 2016, Utz, 2015). Therefore, we also measured the perceived entertainment value of the target posts with one-item for exploratory purposes.…”

“…What used to be obvious in situations of physical co-presence, is managed nowadays through persistent online interactions, many of which are casual and the information transferred through these interactions often lacks interest from a purely objective point of view. The notion of ambient awareness (Thompson 2008) points in this direction, since it refers to an awareness of the others arising from non-stop dialogues and uploaded content, often fragmentary, which nevertheless gives users a more or less thorough picture of their friends (Lin et al 2016).

Therefore, in addition to having high levels of ambient awareness, Twitter users may also experience high levels of ambient intimacy (Lin et al, 2016).…”

“…Ambient awareness is associated with ambient intimacy, or the feeling of closeness with others on social media developed through status updates on social media (Lin, Levordashka, & Utz, 2016). Therefore, in addition to having high levels of ambient awareness, Twitter users may also experience high levels of ambient intimacy (Lin et al, 2016). Additionally, when a Twitter user feels close to another user, they are more likely to share (i.e., retweet) each other's tweets, demonstrating a public display of closeness (Tang, Miao, Quan, Tang, & Deng, 2015).…”
