Abstract

This paper investigates how individuals decide whether to share information with others, considering the potential positive and negative consequences. The study reveals that participants base their decisions on their own information-seeking preferences, integrating factors such as the information's usefulness, its emotional valence, and the receiver's uncertainty level. A cluster analysis identified three distinct groups of participants based on the relative importance they assigned to these factors, demonstrating stable individual differences in information-sharing behavior.
