Social media such as Instagram, Facebook, and Line provide unparalleled platforms on which users can publicize their shopping experiences and related thoughts on specific e vendors within social networks. This has thus led to a novel method by which to shop online, termed social shopping. Previous literature recognizes that the inherent uncertainties within the social shopping environment are factors limiting shopping intention by customers. Hence, this study adopts uncertainty reduction theory and proposes a research model exploring the relationship between uncertainty reduction strategies URS and social shopping intention, mediated by user trust and perceived value in social shopping.
