Unveiling influence: influencer’ssensitive self-disclosure and its persuasive impact
Disclosure of intimate personal stories is an essential part of many marketplace conversations. In four experiments, this research investigates whether a social media influencer’s sharing of sensitive self-disclosure (i.e., personal information involving risk and vulnerability) can either enhance or diminish their persuasive impact. In Study 1, we find that the impact of sensitive self-disclosure on persuasion is contingent on the expected types of influencer-audience relationships (communal vs. exchange). An influencer’s sensitive self-disclosure enhances persuasion when the expected influencer-audience relationship is communal, characterized by emotional connection and mutual care. In exchange relationships, where the audience expects a more information-oriented approach, sensitive self-disclosure diminishes the influencer’s persuasive impact. Study 2 demonstrates that these effects are mediated by trust in communal relationships and by perceived violations of relationship norms in exchange relationships. Studies 3 and 4 identify the boundary conditions for these effects. Study 3 shows that extremely sensitive self-disclosure, which triggers a norm violation, reduces persuasion in a communal relationship. Study 4 reveals that solicited sensitive self-disclosure, which triggers conflicting norms, increases persuasion in an exchange relationship. This research widens the scope of persuasion literature by incorporating sensitive self-disclosure as a novel framework for understanding online influencer-audience persuasion.

Full Disclosure
Results from three large-scale field studies and two controlled experiments show that consumers tend to be more self-disclosing when generating content on their smartphone versus personal computer. This tendency is found in a wide range of domains including social media posts, online restaurant reviews, open-ended survey responses, and compliance with requests for personal information in web advertisements. The authors show that this increased willingness to self-disclose on one’s smartphone arises from the psychological effects of two distinguishing properties of the device: (1) feelings of comfort that many associate with their smartphone and (2) a tendency to narrowly focus attention on the disclosure task at hand due to the relative difficulty of generating content on the smaller device. The enhancing effect of smartphones on self-disclosure yields several important marketing implications, including the creation of content that is perceived as more persuasive by outside readers. The authors explore implications for how these findings can be strategically leveraged by managers, including how they may generalize to other emerging technologies.

The peep diaries : how we're learning to love watching ourselves and our neighbors
We have entered the age of \"peep culture\": a tell-all, show-all, know-all digital phenomenon that is dramatically altering notions of privacy, individuality, security, and even humanity. Peep culture is reality TV, YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, over-the-counter spy gear, blogs, chat rooms, amateur porn, surveillance technology, and more. Core values and rights we once took for granted are rapidly being renegotiated, often without our even noticing.--From publisher description.

OP17 Trends in preoperative self-disclosure of cannabis use in chronic pain patients undergoing outpatient interventional procedures: an institutional retrospective study
Background and AimsIn New York State, cannabis has been legalized for medical and adult recreational use, potentially increasing use among patients. Limited studies exist regarding prevalence of cannabis use in the outpatient chronic pain setting. Therefore, a retrospective institutional study was conducted on patients undergoing an interventional procedure at our high-volume outpatient pain clinic to determine prevalence of self-reported cannabis use over time.MethodsFollowing IRB-approval, outpatient interventional procedures performed in the Special Procedures Unit at the HSS 75th Street Campus between January 1st, 2018, and December 31st, 2023, with patient-disclosed cannabis use were identified using the SlicerDicer tool in Epic (electronic health record). The search logic returned cases with cannabis use entered in the social history intake form in Epic. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient demographics, procedure types, and yearly trends.ResultsPrevalence of self-reported cannabis use in patients undergoing an outpatient interventional procedure increased between 2018 and 2023 from 3.8% to 6.1% (figure 1). Patient characteristics are summarized in table 1. The most common procedure performed was epidural steroid injections (47%, n=1153); 55.7% (n=1361) of patients were diagnosed with spondylosis, while 11.5% (n=282) suffered from CRPS. Overall, 8.4% (n=205) of patients using cannabis reported use of at least one additional illicit substance.Abstract OP17 Figure 1Yearly prevalence of cannabis use from 2018 to 2023 among patients undergoing outpatient interventional procedures at the HSS 75th street campus[Image Omitted. See PDF.]Abstract OP17 Table 1Demographics, cannabis use, and procedure type[Image Omitted. See PDF.]ConclusionsYearly trends at our institution indicate that self-disclosure of cannabis use is increasing in patients undergoing outpatient interventional procedures. The increase in cannabis use disclosure could be attributed to increased use and accessibility, increased patient comfort with disclosing use, or both; however, the prevalence is markedly lower than national averages.

With the witnesses : poetry, compassion, and claimed experience
\"Trauma theory dominates contemporary ideas about ethical response to suffering. Yet, trauma theory, as it has been adopted by literary and cultural studies, has harmful effects. In With the Witnesses, Dale Tracy argues that poetry's compassionate strategies offer an alternative approach to engaging not only suffering in art but suffering in general. Emphasizing inaccessible histories, unspeakable suffering, and unconscious witnessing, trauma theory leads readers to claim others' suffering through empathic identification. Understood through trauma theory, witness poetry--poetry responding to social suffering--appears to make traumatic traces contagiously available to readers. With the Witnesses interrogates this metaphoric logic in which readers identify with a speaker, placing themselves into the position of witness. Instead, Tracy finds that witness poems follow a metonymic logic: contiguity rather than substitution, nearness rather than likeness, and waiting in relationship rather than claiming understanding. Compassion means feeling with--not as--another. Poems responding to diverse national and transnational contexts of atrocity, conflict, and marginalization guide With the Witnesses outside of existing frameworks into compassionate response to suffering. With the Witnesses follows each poem as a unique theory of compassion and arrives at a place where a witness can stand with those who suffer without standing in for them.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Correlates of social media fatigue and academic performance decrement
PurposeThe current study aims to investigate if different measures related to online psychosocial well-being and online behavior correlate with social media fatigue.Design/methodology/approachTo understand the antecedents and consequences of social media fatigue, the stressor-strain-outcome (SSO) framework is applied. The study consists of two cross-sectional surveys that were organized with young-adult students. Study A was conducted with 1,398 WhatsApp users (aged 19 to 27 years), while Study B was organized with 472 WhatsApp users (aged 18 to 23 years).FindingsIntensity of social media use was the strongest predictor of social media fatigue. Online social comparison and self-disclosure were also significant predictors of social media fatigue. The findings also suggest that social media fatigue further contributes to a decrease in academic performance.Originality/valueThis study builds upon the limited yet growing body of literature on a theme highly relevant for scholars, practitioners as well as social media users. The current study focuses on examining different causes of social media fatigue induced through the use of a highly popular mobile instant messaging app, WhatsApp. The SSO framework is applied to explore and establish empirical links between stressors and social media fatigue.

Sharing our lives online : risks and exposure in social media
\"Most of us know someone who has inadvertently revealed something shameful or embarrassing online about themselves or someone else. With the growth of social media like Facebook and Twitter, we are heading towards a radically open society. In exploring this phenomenon, David R. Brake first provides an overview of the harms that can be posed by unwary social media use - not just for children but for all of us, young or old. He then draws on in-depth interviews, a range of related theories of human behaviour and a wealth of other studies to analyse why this happens. He explains in detail the social, technological and commercial influences and pressures that keep us posting what we should not and stop us fully appreciating the risks when we do so. This is an invaluable book for students, parents, policy-makers and any social media user. \"-- Provided by publisher.

“Hey Alexa–order groceries for me” – the effect of consumer–VAI emotional attachment on satisfaction and repurchase intention
Purpose
Given the growing prominence of voice-activated artificial intelligent devices (VAIs) as the strategic market-facing technology for grocery purchases, this article aims to bring together theories on anthropomorphism, trust, emotional attachment, self-connection and self-disclosure in one conceptual framework establishing that consumer–VAI relationship has significant implications for grocery purchase satisfaction and intention to repurchase using VAIs.
Design/methodology/approach
The study tested seven hypotheses through a survey-based approach comprising of two studies.
Findings
The study empirically supports VAI anthropomorphism and trust in VAIs as predictors of consumer–VAI emotional attachment and establishes the moderating role of consumer self-disclosure. Consumer–VAI self-connection resulting from emotional attachment results in grocery purchase satisfaction and intention to repurchase using VAIs.
Research limitations/implications
The article offers a novel perspective on consumer–VAI relationships and the use of VAIs for grocery purchases. It establishes an agentic role of consumers when ordering groceries using VAIs, creating a deeper understanding of how consumer–VAI emotional attachment results in extensions of consumers’ self-identity, resulting in purchase satisfaction and repurchase intention using VAIs.
Practical implications
Establishing a consumer–VAI relationship, the article brings out the strategic importance of VAIs for marketers in grocery purchases and repurchases, which can be extended to other purchases.
Originality/value
The article offers a new perspective on establishing VAIs as strategically important market-facing devices by examining consumer relationships with VAIs and offering valuable insights on how consumer emotional attachment with VAIs results in satisfaction and intention to repurchase using VAIs.
