Abstract

Based on the social exchange theory, this study examines the effects of perceived image enhancement, perceived relational development, and perceived responsiveness on self-disclosure on social media and the effects of perceived responsiveness on perceived image enhancement and perceived relational development. It also differentiates the influence of perceived image enhancement and perceived relational development on self-disclosure in the one-to-many context of social media. The results of an online survey show that perceived image enhancement and perceived relational development are positive predictors of self-disclosure, with perceived image enhancement being the stronger one. Perceived responsiveness is a positive predictor of both perceived image enhancement and perceived relational development. The effect of perceived responsiveness on self-disclosure is not confirmed.
