Abstract

This chapter explores how six constructs-control, trust, perceived risk, risk propensity, perceived legal protection, and privacy disposition-affect information disclosure on the Social Networking Site (SNS) Facebook. Building upon previous related work, an extended causal model of disclosure behaviour is proposed. The hypothesised relationships in this model were tested using survey data collected from 278 social networking site users in Ireland. The results of the analysis provide strong support for the proposed model.
