How do personality traits shape information-sharing behaviour in social media? Exploring the mediating effect of generalised trust by Deng, Shengli, Lin, Yanqing, Li, Hongxiu, Liu, Yong, Chen, Xiaoyu

“…Personality and trust have been found to be important precursors of information-sharing behaviour, but little is known about how these factors interact with each other in shaping information-sharing behaviour. By integrating both trust and user personality into a unified research framework, this study examines how trust mediates the effect of personality traits (specifically, agreeableness and conscientiousness) in triggering information-sharing behaviour in an online social networking environment. …”
