“…Often an important component in such studies is the dimension of trust between the vendor and the buyer (Liu et al, 2005;Anderson and Agarwal, 2010). Some research shows that online selfdisclosure may be influenced by the trust placed in the vendor or the service provider (Li, 2011), whilst other studies highlight that trust is dependent on the level of personalisation afforded by the e-commerce site (Xu et al, 2011b). However, this dichotomous view of the firm-user transactions towards trust is far from being representative of the complexity of online social networking interactions.…”

2Information disclosure of social media users: does control over personal information, user awareness and security notices matter? Abstract Purpose -Our study bridges the gap in the existing literature by exploring the antecedents of information disclosure of social media users. In particular, the paper investigates the link between information disclosure, control over personal information, user awareness and security notices in the social context, all of which are shown to be different from existing studies in e-commerce environments.Design/methodology/approach -We collected and analysed data from 514 social network users. The model is estimated using OLS and robust standard errors are estimated using the Huber-White sandwich estimators.Findings -Our results show that in social networking contexts, control over personal information is negatively and statistically associated with information disclosure. However, both user awareness and security notices have a positive statistical effect on information disclosure.Originality/value -Whilst research on issues of individual information privacy in ecommerce is plentiful, the area of social networking and privacy protection remains underexplored. This paper provides a useful model for analysing information disclosure behaviour on social networks. We discuss the practical implications of our findings for actors in social media interactions.

“…To examine the instrument's nomological validity, which refers to the extent to which predictions based on the construct are confirmed within a wider theoretical context or a structural model of constructs (Cronbach, 1971), we examined the relationships between some possible antecedents and the construct of collective SNS privacy concern. Specifically, two theoretically plausible causal variables, perceived risk and propensity to value privacy, were tested, as they were suggested in prior research as antecedents of privacy concerns Xu, Dinev, Smith, & Hart, 2011). Existing scales measuring the two variables from the personal perspective were adapted to measure perceived collective privacy risk and the collective's propensity to value privacy (see Appendix C).…”

“…Studies regularly show that many factors affect an individual's concerns for information privacy [67], which ultimately affect their willingness to participate in transactions or share information online [32,68]. In response to privacy threats, researchers and practitioners have explored various behavioral and technological approaches for privacy protection at different levels.…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oPrivacy concern has been identified as a major factor hindering the growth of e-business. Recently, various privacy-enhancing tools (PETs) have been proposed to protect the online privacy of Internet users. However, most of these PETs have been designed using an ad hoc approach rather than a systematic design. In this paper, we present an exploratory investigation of an end-use PET using a Value Sensitive Design approach. We propose an integrated design of a Privacy Enhancing Support System (PESS) with three proposed tools, namely privacy-enhancing search feature (PESearch), privacy-enhancing control for personal data (PEControl), and privacy-enhancing review for sharing the ratings and reviews of websites' privacy practices (PEReview). This system could enhance the interactivity of Internet users' privacy experiences, increase users' control perceptions over their personal information, and reduce their privacy concerns. An empirical evaluation of PESearch, PEControl, and PEReview revealed that novices felt the most important aspect of the tools for downloading and usage intentions was its usefulness; most experts felt the tool met the design principles as specified.
