When Brands Get Personal in Online Chatters: the Effects of Self-Disclosure and Anthropomorphism on Consumer-Brand Relationship.
This research investigates the brand’s personal disclosure on Twitter and its consequences on consumer-brand relationship.

Shifting the psychological closeness, self-disclosure on Twitter can either help or impair the relationships.
