Leveraging online networks like Twitter and Foursquare, our study explores the dynamics of self-disclosure and impression management through location sharing. Grounded in social and hyperpersonal information processing theories, we investigate how peer influence, geographical proximity, and exposure to promotional content impact self-disclosure behaviors. Through an integrated dataset, we determine that friends’ check-ins and their physical proximities significantly sway individual self-disclosure. Particularly, in the presence of health-conscious peers, users tend to avoid check-ins that create a negative health impression. Furthermore, exposure to health-related promotional content significantly influences these behaviors. Our findings provide crucial perspectives on impression management in the digital age.

在线社交网络中的自我表露：基于位置的签到和印象管理的实证研究


我们的研究利用 Twitter 和 Foursquare 等在线网络，探索通过位置共享进行自我表露和印象管理的动态。基于社会和超个人信息处理理论，我们研究同伴影响、地理接近度和促销内容的接触如何影响自我表露行为。通过综合数据集，我们确定朋友的签到和他们的物理距离会显着影响个人的自我披露。特别是，当有注重健康的同伴在场时，用户往往会避免进行会造成负面健康印象的签到。此外，接触与健康相关的促销内容会显着影响这些行为。我们的研究结果为数字时代的印象管理提供了重要的视角。
