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披露：基于位置的签到和印象管理的实证研究


利用 Twitter 和 Foursquare 等在线网络，我们的研究通过位置共享探索了自我披露和印象管理的动态。以社交和超个人信息处理理论为基础，我们研究了同行影响力、地理接近和对促销内容的曝光如何影响自我披露行为。通过一个集成的数据集，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，在有注重健康的同龄人在场时，用户往往会避免给人留下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著影响这些行为。我们的研究结果为数字时代的印象管理提供了重要的观点。
