Paper Abstract:
|
The number of blog is growing explosively makes the question interesting: What do bloggers disclose themselves on the
Internet? Drawn theories from social psychology, we develop a model to measure how deep and how wide issues that
bloggers may express on their blog. Initial results showed that blog keepers might disclose nine topics such as general
attitude, physical appearance, financial issues, career plans, emotion, self, interest, consumer experiences and others.
However, only five of them are most frequently disclosed: career, emotion, consumer experiences, interest and others.
Further studies may extend and validate the self-disclosure model (Altman and Haythorn, 1965) on the Internet. |
