Supplier's trust in the platform rests upon the constructs ability, integrity, and benevolence.
“In accordance with the train of thought leading to the three dimensions of trust from the consumer perspective (c.f. Gefen 2002; Dinev/Hart 2006; Krasnova et al. 2012), supplier's trust in the platform also rests upon the constructs ability , integrity , and benevolence .”
From Trust in the Sharing Economy (2016) · cites this paper as Krasnova et al. 2012
Section 2.3.3, “Trusting Beliefs,” discusses users’ trust in an SNS provider and mentions benevolence. The cited paper does not set out ability, integrity, and benevolence as three dimensions of consumer trust. The sentence’s extension to supplier trust is the citing authors’ own proposal, not a finding attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPrivacy calculus theory states the privacy risk involved with creating an account is weighted against its benefits, and trusting beliefs towards the platform operator are positively associated with intention to disclose.
“Privacy calculus theory states the privacy risk involved with this behavior is weighted against its benefits, where trusting beliefs towards the platform operator are positively associated with intention to disclose ( Krasnova et al. 2012; Dinev/Hart 2006).”
From Trust in the Sharing Economy (2016) · cites this paper as Krasnova et al. 2012
Section 2.1 describes privacy calculus as weighing privacy concerns against anticipated benefits and trusting beliefs in decisions to disclose information. Section 2.3.3 treats trust in the SNS provider as a positive predictor of self-disclosure, but Section 3.4 reports an association for US users and none for German users. The paper examines self-disclosure by SNS users, not the decision to create an account or specifically the intention to disclose; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredWhen individuals experience happiness, they tend to post more frequently.
“thus suggesting that when individuals experience happiness, they tend to post more frequently.”
From Transformative privacy calculus: Conceptualizing the personalization‐privacy paradox on social media (2024) · cites this paper as Krasnova et al., 2012
Section 2.3.1, “Expected Benefits: Enjoyment” (page unavailable), treats anticipated enjoyment as a motive for sharing information on social networking sites. It does not establish that people who are currently experiencing happiness post more frequently; the emotional state and posting frequency in the claim are not supported. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredHedonic experiences can lead to higher SNS posting frequency.
“The literature has also underscored that hedonic experiences can lead to higher SNSs posting frequency.”
From Transformative privacy calculus: Conceptualizing the personalization‐privacy paradox on social media (2024) · cites this paper as Krasnova et al., 2012
Section 2.3.1 (page unavailable) describes enjoyment as a positive antecedent of information disclosure on SNSs, and Section 2.1 includes status updates among forms of disclosure. The paper does not establish that hedonic experiences increase posting frequency specifically; its finding concerns self-disclosure more broadly. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredEnjoyment amplifies self-disclosure through posting on SNSs.
“research byLiu et al. (2016) andKrasnova et al. (2012) revealed that enjoyment amplifies self-disclosure through posting on SNSs.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
