Abstract

AbstractConversational technologies have become increasingly prevalent, with interactions becoming more and more personalized. This paper reviews literature on the phenomenon of self-disclosure to conversational technologies. Five types of factors emerge as influencing self-disclosure: interface modality, conversational factors, user characteristics, mediating mechanisms, and contextual factors. We describe each type of factor, cover findings from the literature, present the framework of factors influencing self-disclosure that thus emerges, and put forth pertinent questions for future research on self-disclosure to conversational technologies.
