Primary Outcomes (End Points) Item Intimacy Level Ratings After agreeing to the consent form, the participants are shown 36 items in a shuffled order, and asked to rate the intimacy of these items on an 7-point scale, with endpoints defined as follows (from Rubin 1978) paper: • 1 = Not intimate at all; i.e., the sort of thing one would freely talk about and disclose to almost anyone, or which is extremely impersonal in nature. • 7 = Extremely intimate; i.e., the sort of thing one would talk about and disclose only with great difficulty, or which is extremely personal in nature. Disclosure Score We collect the intimacy rating and disclosure scores from the participants of 36 items. For each item, the participants were asked to respond if they feel comfortable posting about this aspect of self to the plat- form they were just introduced. Options are defined as follows: • Very uncomfortable: you will be extremely concerned about posting anything about this aspect of yourself. • Somewhat uncomfortable: you have some concerns about posting about this aspect of yourself, but you might still do it with very little detail. • Somewhat comfortable: you don’t mind posting something about this aspect of yourself, but probably won’t do so fully or in great detail. • Very comfortable: you don’t mind posting fully or in great detail about this aspect of yourself.
