Facebook上披露个人信息的倾向与五大人格因素(外向、开放、神经质、尽责、随和)有关，但述情障碍和冲动等更具体的特征的潜在作用尚不清楚。目前的研究评估了这两个特征，以及社交媒体使用紊乱、酒精使用、负面情绪和人口统计因素的指数，在分层回归模型中预测Facebook自我表露的能力。这项研究通过在线调查工具Qualtrics从澳大利亚各地招募了157名使用Facebook的成年人，年龄在18岁到30岁之间(男性=24.31岁)，其中81人(51.6%)为女性。Facebook自我表露与述情障碍、冲动、社交媒体使用障碍、负面情绪和饮酒之间存在显著的正相关。在最终的回归模型中，述情障碍和焦虑是最强的预测因素，其次是酒精和教育；社交媒体使用障碍、冲动、抑郁、压力、年龄和性别没有显著意义。随后的分析发现，在述情障碍的三个方面中，只有难以识别情绪才能解释Facebook自我表露的差异。这些发现是根据社会补偿假说和最近的神经成像证据解释的，这些证据表明，述情障碍患者的大脑对社会排斥反应迟钝。
The tendency to disclose personal information on Facebook has been examined in relation to the broad Big Five personality factors (extraversion, openness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness), but the potential roles of more specific traits such as alexithymia and impulsivity are not known. The present study assessed the ability of these two traits, along with indices of disordered social media use, alcohol use, negative mood, and demographic factors, to predict Facebook self-disclosure in a hierarchical regression model. The study recruited 157 Facebook-using adults aged between 18 and 30 years (M = 24.31 years), of whom 81 (51.6%) identified as female, from across Australia via the online survey tool Qualtrics. Expected significant positive correlations of Facebook self-disclosure with alexithymia, impulsivity, disordered social media use, negative mood and alcohol use were obtained. In the final regression model, alexithymia and anxiety were the strongest predictors, followed by alcohol and education; disordered social media use, impulsivity, depression, stress, age, and gender were not significant. Subsequent analysis revealed that of the three facets of alexithymia, only difficulty identifying feelings explained variance in Facebook self-disclosure. Findings are interpreted in terms of the social compensation hypothesis and recent neuroimaging evidence of blunted brain response to social rejection in alexithymia.
