Abstract
Parents’ role in teens’ personal photo sharing: A moderated mediation model incorporating privacy concern and network size
Highlights
The Internet has created a highly visual environment where users can see one another, using various media formats, most of which are still photographs and videos
The mediation model was tested with model 4 and the moderated mediation model was tested with model 7 using PROCESS Procedure for SPSS v2.16.3 (Hayes, 2013)
Parental mediation had a positive effect on privacy concern after controlling for age and sex (b = 0.20, SE = 0.02, t = 9.50, p < 0.001)
Summary
The Internet has created a highly visual environment where users can see one another, using various media formats, most of which are still photographs and videos. Typical adolescents post many pictures and videos online using social networking services (SNSs) such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and blogs and even send visual media to unknown third-party websites (Chou, Liu, & Chou, 2019; Tsay-Vogel, Shanahan, & Signorielli, 2018). Sharing photographs or videos with friends on SNSs is arguably perceived to be more compelling and personal than sharing textual. Very few studies have addressed privacy issues and disclosure of personal photographs, most of which are under the label of personally identifiable information (Liu, Ang, & Lwin, 2016). This study intended to understand how parental mediation influence adolescents’ visual information disclosure on Facebook. This study adds to the extant literature by investigating the mediating role of privacy concern and the moderating role of Facebook network size in this relationship
