When and why we disclose distress on SNSs: Perceived affordances, disclosure goals, and anticipated negative evaluations
作者：
Highlights：
• SNS affordances were indirectly associated with distress disclosures on SNSs via disclosure goals.
• People disclose distress on SNSs for seeking support and expressing emotions.
• Network accessibility was positively linked to support-seeking goals, which was positively related to distress disclosures.
• Perceived visibility control was negatively linked to emotion expression, which was linked to more distress disclosures.
• Anticipated negative evaluations moderated the associations between disclosure goals and distress disclosures on SNSs.
