Research on Influencing Factors of Personal Information Disclosure Intention of Social Media in China

Abstract

The disclosure of personal information by users is very important for social media, in order to balance privacy protection and personalized service. This article probes into the factors influencing users’ disclosure intention. Based on the privacy calculus theory and theory of planned behavior, the study constructs an influencing factor model of social media personal information disclosure intention. Then an extensive survey of social media users is conducted through questionnaire, and the hypothetical model is verified using structural equation model, and finally the relationship between various influencing factors and personal information disclosure intentions is obtained. The results show that the perceived benefits and subjective norm are related to personal information disclosure intentions, and privacy view is associated with perceived risk. Finally, the study provides new ideas for social media services and user privacy protection, such as creating a secure social media environment, increasing valuable social services, reducing users’ risk perception and making information processing open and transparent.

Exploring non-disclosure practices among male university job seekers through communication privacy management theory

Personal information also encompasses data recorded electronically or any information that, either independently or in combination with other details, can identify an individual (Fan et al, 2021). Another study frames personal information as data exploitable for identity revelation and profile building (Rafique, 2017).…”

Users’ Payment Intention considering Privacy Protection in Cloud Storage: An Evolutionary Game‐Theoretic Approach

“…From the perspective of the privacy perception of the participants in cloud services, Abdulaziz and Yasin [14] constructed a behavioral model for the continuous use of cloud storage services by researchers from the perspective of perceived risk and explored the perception of specific risk factors by researchers in the process of using cloud storage. Fan et al [15] combined the characteristics of personal cloud storage services to build a personal cloud storage service quality evaluation system from the perspective of user experience. Gashami et al [16] constructed a research paradigm based on the eory of Reasoned Action, the Privacy-Trust-Intention model, and cost-benefit theories to capture the trade-off between advantages and privacy from SaaS customers.…”

Fan et al [8] constructed the influencing factor model of personal information disclosure intention of social media based on privacy calculus and planned behavior theory. Cheng et al [9] constructed a social media user privacy disclosure intention model from the dual perspectives of individual rational and perceptual factors based on privacy computing theory, communication privacy management theory, etc.…”
