This study investigated the relationship between privacy consciousness for others and disclosing others’ information on Twitter. A model was developed based on a previous study in which this relationship was mediated by concern for others’ privacy on Twitter. 153 undergraduate participants who were regular Twitter users were asked to respond to a questionnaire inquiring about disclosing information about friends and acquaintances on their Twitter accounts during the past month. Participants also responded to scales assessing consciousness about others’ privacy and concerns about others’ privacy on Twitter. As expected, the results supported our predictive model. However, there was no significant direct relationship between privacy consciousness for others and disclosing others’ information on Twitter.
