在一项关于采用位置共享社交网络（LSSN）的混合方法研究中，我们发现，采用和使用行为的变化可以用一个人以某种方式进行交流的倾向来解释。具体来说，我们发现某些人更喜欢我们称之为FYI（供您参考）的沟通方式。仅供参考的沟通者喜欢推断可用性，并在不必与他人互动的情况下与他人保持联系，这是当前LSSN的主要风格。使用结构方程模型在美国全国范围内的调查（N=1021），我们展示了如何FYI通信风格预测采用LSSN，同时也显示了一个人的愿望打电话给别人的电话的负面影响。此外，我们发现，随着年龄的增长，FYI偏好显着下降。在后续的调查（N=180）中，我们完善了FYI结构，并表明它会影响用户在社交媒体上的披露和参与程度。此外，我们还发现，它完全介导了某些五大人格特质对社交媒体参与和LSSN使用的影响。结果表明，为了迎合更广泛的人群，LSSN（可以说是任何社交媒体）应该支持积极的沟通风格。
In a mixed-methods study on adoption of location-sharing social networks (LSSN), we discovered that variations in adoption and usage behavior could be explained by one's predisposition to communicate in a certain style. Specifically, we found that certain individuals prefer a communication style we call FYI (For Your Information). FYI communicators like to infer availability and to keep in touch with others without having to interact with them, which is the predominant style in current LSSN. Using structural equation modeling on a U.S. nationwide survey (N=1021), we show how the FYI communication style predicts the adoption of LSSN while also showing a negative effect on one's desire to call someone on the phone. Moreover, we find that as age increases, FYI preference significantly decreases. In a follow-on survey (N=180), we refine the FYI construct and show that it affects users' level of disclosure and participation in social media. Furthermore, we show that it completely mediates the effect of certain Big-5 personality traits on social media participation and LSSN usage. The results suggest that to cater to a wider segment of the population, LSSN (and arguably any social media) should support an active communication style.
