  This study presents a secondary data analysis of the survey data collected as
part of the American Trends Panel series by the Pew Research Center. A logistic
regression was performed to ascertain the effects of the perceived risk of
sharing, perceived problems on Twitter, and motivation of using Twitter on the
likelihood that participants regret sharing on Twitter. The logistic regression
model was statistically significant, \c{hi}2(15) = 102.5, p < .001. The model
correctly classified 78.5 percent of cases. Whether or not Twitter users regret
sharing on Twitter depends on different motivations for using Twitter. We
observe that "A way to express my opinion" is statistically significant in the
mod-el, indicating that the odds of Twitter users regretting sharing for this
motivation is 2.1 times higher than that of entertainment. Perceived risks of
potential hostility and visibility were negatively associated with an increased
likelihood of regret sharing. In contrast, perceived problems on Twitter
concerning misinformation were negatively associated with the likelihood of
regret sharing.
