This research explores the dynamics of self-disclosure in online communities through a cross-cultural lens, focusing on French and British working professionals. Leveraging social exchange theory (SET), social penetration theory (SPT), and cross-cultural individualism-collectivism theory, the study finds that positive social influences, reciprocity, and trust in online communities enhance self-disclosure, while privacy risk beliefs inhibit it. Additionally, a tendency towards collectivism is associated with increased self-disclosure, with French participants displaying higher levels of horizontal individualism compared to their British counterparts. These findings offer insights into the factors driving self-disclosure in online communities across different cultures, providing valuable implications for the design and management of these platforms.
