Abstract

This study was to explore the relationship between psychological development of college students and the degree of self-disclosure on social networks from two aspects of self-esteem and mental health. Through questionnaire analysis, analyzed 172 college students’ social web page (take Renren as example) self-disclosure (including the number of friends, published state, log, upload photos and text reply information etc.) correlated with self-esteem and mental health. Results: there was a significant difference between male and female college students in the degree of network disclosure; there was a significant correlation between the degree of disclosure and self-esteem of college students in the log reply and the number of the owner recovery log; the relationship between the number of friends, the number of log reply and the number of photos shows the relationship between the disclosure level and the mental health. Conclusions indicate that appropriate information disclosure has a good effect on the maintenance of mental health.
