This article investigates the relationship between sharing personal information and relationship development in the context of social networking sites (SNSs). Information disclosed on these sites could affect relationships in a different manner compared to more traditional interactions, such as instant messaging or face-to-face interaction. Respondents in the age range of 12 to 83 were surveyed about experiences of relationship development as a consequence of contact through Facebook or Hyves-the most popular Dutch SNSs. Results showed a primarily positive effect of information sharing on SNSs on our relationships. Furthermore, relationship development mainly occurs among acquaintances and friends, and public posts are most strongly related to relationship development. These findings suggest that SNSs might affect relationships in a distinct fashion as acquaintances and friends gain access to public self-disclosures that might normally only be reserved for close friends and family. Overall, this study provides an insight into some of the positive aspects of the public nature of SNSs in contrast with the general negative associations.
本文研究了在社交网站 (SNS) 背景下分享个人信息与关系发展之间的关系。与即时通讯或面对面交流等传统互动方式相比，这些网站上披露的信息可能会以不同的方式影响人际关系。调查了年龄在 12 岁至 83 岁之间的受访者，了解他们通过 Facebook 或 Hyves（荷兰最受欢迎的 SNS）接触后关系发展的经历。结果表明，SNS 上的信息共享对我们的人际关系主要有积极影响。此外，关系发展主要发生在熟人之间和朋友之间，并且公开帖子与关系发展的相关性最强。这些发现表明，SNS 可能会以一种独特的方式影响人际关系，因为熟人朋友可以接触到通常只保留给亲密朋友和家人的公开自我披露。总的来说，这项研究深入了解了 SNS 公开性质的一些积极方面，与普遍的负面关联形成对比。
