This study explored whether agreeableness, extraversion, and openness function to influence self-disclosure behavior, which in turn impacts the intensity of checking in on Facebook. A complete path from extraversion to Facebook check-in through self-disclosure and sharing was found. The indirect effect from sharing to check-in intensity through life satisfaction was particularly salient. The central component of check-in is for users to disclose a specific location selectively that has implications on demonstrating their social lives, lifestyles, and tastes, enabling a selective and optimized self-image. Implications on the hyperpersonal model and warranting principle are discussed.
本研究探讨了宜人性、外向性和开放性是否会影响自我表露行为，而自我表露行为又会反过来影响人们在 Facebook 上的签到强度。研究发现，外向性可以通过自我表露和分享这两个中介因素对 Facebook 签到产生直接影响。通过生活满意度，分享对签到强度的间接影响尤其显著。签到的核心内容是用户有选择地透露特定的位置，这对展示他们的社交生活、生活方式和品味有影响，从而形成有选择性和优化的自我形象。本研究还讨论了对超个人模型和保证原则的影响。
