Abstract

Social Network Service is one of platforms rapidly growing in the environment of digital convergence. Most of researches regarding social network service(SNS) done up to the present time are concerning about technic and effectiveness characteristics of SNS. However, this study focuses on the roll of self-disclosure in the use of social network services(SNS). From the perspectives of personal and social motivation rather than the effectiveness and technic characteristics of SNS. the relations among self-disclosure, enjoyment, social ties and intention to use have been tested empirically. The results from this study shows that self-disclosure has not directly effects on the intention to use of SNS, but indirectly effects on it through personal enjoyment and desire to have social ties.

소셜네트워크서비스(Social Network Service: SNS)는 디지털 융복합 환경에서 획기적으로 발전하고 있는 플랫폼이다. 그간 수행되어진 많은 SNS연구에서는 SNS가 자체적으로 지니고 있는 기술적인 특성과 외재적 동기인 SNS를 사용함으로써 사용자가 획득할 수 있는 효용적 특성에 관한 연구가 주로 이루어져 왔다. 반면에 본 연구는 기술적 또는 효용적 특성보다는 내재적 동기인 개인의 감성적, 사회적 욕구 측면에서 분석하고자 하였다. SNS의 이용은 인간의 개인적인 욕구를 만족시킨다는 관점에서, 자기노출이 SNS의 사용 의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가에 대하여 실증적으로 증명하고자 하였다. 연구 결과에 의하면 자기노출은 SNS 사용 의도에 직접적으로 영향을 미치기 보다는 즐거움과 사회적 유대감이라는 매개변수를 통하여 사용 의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 사용자들은 SNS를 이용하면서 즐거움을 느끼며, 또한 자신이 SNS를 통한 사회적 활동에 참여함으로서 사회적 유대감을 느낀다는 것이다.
