This study investigates the associations between product familiarity and willingness to disclose among Generation Z consumers, with online shopping self-efficacy and emotional closeness to shopping-circle members as mediating variables and sense of community in shopping circles (particularly its emotional resonance dimension) as a moderating variable. By integrating the theory of planned behavior and social identity theory, with insights from the recently proposed vulnerability and emotional bond theory, this study develops a dual-mediation model to elucidate the psychological mechanisms underlying Generation Z\u2019s willingness to disclose in digital consumer contexts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To test the proposed relationships, a quantitative survey was administered to 524 participants. The theoretical framework\u2014encompassing hypothesized paths, mediating effects, and moderating effects\u2014was examined using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) implemented in R.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Product familiarity showed a significant positive association with willingness to disclose. This association was mediated through the dual paths of online shopping self-efficacy and emotional closeness to shopping-circle members. Sense of community in shopping circles negatively moderated the relationships between product familiarity and both mediators, as well as the indirect effects of the two mediating paths.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings indicate dual pathways of online shopping self-efficacy and emotional closeness to shopping-circle members linking product familiarity to willingness to disclose and highlight the boundary role of sense of community in shopping circles.
