Abstract

In this study, by developing a new conceptual model and empirically testing it using a scenario-based survey conducted on a group of 180 Facebook users, we address the privacy paradox characterized in the literature as the inconsistency between individuals' privacy concerns and their information sharing intentions. Specifically, we show that: 1) the inconsistency between the individuals' stated privacy concerns and their intentions to disclose personal information is, to a great extent, due to lack of parallelism in prior studies; and 2) taking into account the joint moderating effects of sensitivity of information and control over privacy on the relationship of privacy concerns on sharing intentions, can better explain why even the most privacy conservative users easily share their personal information online in particular situations.
