Abstract

Recently, teenage users on social media have been keen to evaluate their personality through the MBTI personality test, so as to further understand themselves in the choice of “person-I” or “person-E”. However, in virtual and realistic situations, there are differences in self-disclosure of different teenage users, which need to be analyzed by empirical research. In addition to sorting out adolescents’ differences in the self-disclosure in virtual and realistic situations through questionnaire surveys and interviews, this study also completes an in-depth study on the differences of self-disclosure on the basis of data analysis and content analysis. Moreover, according to examples of the main types of MBTI personality tests, this paper discusses the causes of self-disclosure differences in multiple dimensions such as extroversion and introversion. The research will help deepen the understanding of individual self-disclosure differences among adolescents.
