Participants (N = 1,294) completed online surveys comprising measures of willingness to disclose personal information on SNS, self-esteem, SNS affinity, self-disclosure, honesty of self-disclosure, subjective norm, self-monitoring skills, and public self-consciousness. Our findings suggest that self-disclosure mediates the impact of communication-based personality characteristics on the use of SNS, and that subjective norm and SNS affinity also have significant independent effects.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessComputer-Mediated CommunicationSelf-DisclosureSocial Network SitesPersonality CharacteristicsPersonal İnformationOnline CommunicationSocial MediaFacebookOnlineArticle2-s2.0-8496376574810.2224/sbp.2015.43.1.1131Q3143Q4WOS:000349234200001
