Abstract
The internet has become an effective tool in communication, and SNS (Social Networking Service), such as Facebook or Twitter, that allows anyone to disclose a variety of specific personal information. The purpose of the present study is to identify which profile factors provided SNS users (or viewers) with a positive first impression. Results from study 1, the three factors - basic information, profile picture and interests - were derived according to priority. In study 2, we established three major profile factors extracted from surveys that are crucial factors in SNS settings. We can assumed that more self-disclosure SNS users have the more socially attractive they will be by viewers.
