Abstract This work studies factors that influence personal information disclosure coming from vulnerable users who may adopt risky online behavior on social media. These users trust their online relationships and reveal confidential or sensitive information, causing damage to themselves and their relatives and friends. We carried a survey-based study on 1,532 participants to see if they would reveal sensitive information when they have close online relationships whom they trust. The results led to several discoveries, especially concerning the factors affecting the disclosure in online relationships, and those affecting the attitude toward online manipulation. Moreover, this study attested a strong positive relation between disclosure issues and the user’s attitudes toward manipulation. The latter which is affected by their online behavior and social interaction ties. In a nutshell, users attitudes toward manipulation may lead to self-disclosure on the one hand, and these attitudes could be identified through their social behavior on the other hand.

在线关系中的隐私，信任和操纵

摘要这项工作研究了影响弱势用户的个人信息披露的因素，这些弱势用户可能会在社交媒体上采取危险的在线行为。这些用户信任他们的在线关系并泄露机密或敏感信息，从而损害了他们自己以及他们的亲戚和朋友。我们对1,532名参与者进行了一项基于调查的研究，以了解他们在与自己信任的亲密在线关系中是否会透露敏感信息。结果导致了几项发现，尤其是有关影响在线关系中披露的因素，以及那些影响对在线操纵态度的因素的发现。此外，这项研究证明了披露问题与用户对操纵的态度之间存在着很强的积极关系。后者受其在线行为和社交互动纽带的影响。简而言之，用户对操纵的态度一方面可能导致自我披露，另一方面可以通过他们的社交行为来识别这些态度。
