Firstly, PC-MSPR focuses on specific personality traits, including openness, extraversion, and agreeableness, and their impacts on mobile users\u2019 online behaviors. A personality traits calculation method that incorporates privacy preferences (PP-PTM) is then introduced. Secondly, a novel method for calculating the users\u2019 relationship strength, based on their social network interactive activities and domain ontologies (AI-URS) is proposed. AI-URS divides the interactive activities into activity domains and calculates the strength of relationships between users belonging to the same activity domain; at the same time, the comprehensive relationship strength of users in the same domain, including direct relationships and indirect relationships, is calculated based on interactive activity documents. Finally, social recommendations are derived by integrating personality traits and social relationships to calculate user similarity. The proposed model is validated using empirical data. The results show the model\u2019s superiority in alleviating data sparsity and cold-start problems, obtaining higher recommendation precision, and reducing the impact of privacy concerns regarding the users\u2019 adoption of personalized recommendation services.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems10060198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,30]],"date-time":"2022-10-30T10:47:57Z","timestamp":1667126877000},"page":"198","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mobile Social Recommendation Model Integrating Users\u2019 Personality Traits and Relationship Strength under Privacy Concerns"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Qibei","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of International Business, Zhejiang International Studies University, Hangzhou 310023, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1263-2067","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Feipeng","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management and E-Business, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Modern Business Research Center, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4778-591X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management and E-Business, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Modern Business Research Center, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"given":"Zifan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management and E-Business, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Modern Business Research Center, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0932-6758","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaobo","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sprott School of Business, Carleton University, Ottawa, ON K1S 5B6, Canada"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wang, X., Wang, H., and Zhang, C.
