Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Understanding the co-owned information disclosure behavior of social network platform users and their collective privacy coping strategies is of great significance to improve users’ coowned information sharing experience. [Method/Process] Based on the framework of stressor - strain - coping strategy - behavioral consequence, this study collected the data of 443 social network platform users, and used the method of PLS-SEM to explore the collective privacy coping strategies and behavioral consequences of social network platform users in the context of co-owned information disclosure. [Result/Conclusion] The results show that in the context of co-owned information disclosure, collective privacy problems as a source of stress (i.e., personal privacy concerns, others’ privacy concerns and relationship privacy concerns) will lead to individual negative psychological stress (i.e., personal privacy fatigue and others’ privacy fatigue). Individuals can eliminate such negative psychological states through two different coping strategies (i.e., adaptive coping strategies and maladaptive coping strategies) according to their resources and abilities, and different coping strategies may lead to different behavioral consequences. Adaptive coping strategies contribute to individuals’ co-owned information disclosure, while maladaptive coping strategies lead to individuals’ co-owned information withholding. In addition, individual’s perception of information ownership moderates coping strategies of collective privacy stress. Specifically, the perception of personal information ownership enhances the positive impact of personal privacy fatigue on adaptive coping strategies and maladaptive coping strategies, and the perception of others’ information ownership enhances the positive impact of others’ privacy fatigue on adaptive coping strategies. This study expands the theoretical connotation of stress coping theory, enriches the research context of information disclosure, and brings some practical implications for social platform developers and designers to improve users’ co-owned information sharing experience.

Key words： social network platform; co-owned information disclosure; collective privacy coping; information ownership; stress coping theory
