title = "The effects of social structure overlap and profile extensiveness on Facebook friend requests",
abstract = "In online social networks, new social connectivity is established when a respondent accepts a friend request from an unfamiliar requestor. While users are generally willing to establish online social connectivity, they are at times reluctant in constructing profile connections with unfamiliar others. Drawing on the privacy calculus perspective, this study examines the effects of social structure overlap and profile extensiveness on privacy risks as well as social capital gains and how the respondent responds to a friend request (i.e., intention to accept). The results provide strong evidence that social structure overlap and profile extensiveness influence privacy risks and social capital gains. In addition, while privacy risks reduce intention to accept, social capital gains increase intention to accept online social connectivity.",
