This study aimed to develop the Multi-Dimensional Measure of Online Disinhibition (MMOD), which has a multi-dimensional perspective on online disinhibitive psychological states and related cognitions, and to evaluate its validity and reliability. In Study 1, 73 items related to online disinhibition were generated from 20 semi-structured interviews. The wording of the items was modified repeatedly according to two preliminary surveys to construct a 25-item preliminary MMOD. In Study 2, 4- and 3-factor solutions were compared using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, a 3-factor structure (unique perspective on online environment, change of alienation cognition, and change of relationship cognition) with 12 items of the MMOD was confirmed. Correlation analysis with scales from previous studies showed that MMOD has good validity.

On the Internet, the appearance of behaviors that differ from those used in real-life may be observed. The online disinhibition theory, pioneered by Suler (2004), has frequently been cited in empirical studies to explain this phenomenon. However, scholars have not reached a consensus regarding the construct of online disinhibition. In this study, an appropriate construct of online disinhibition for psychological research was explored and a model was proposed to explain its functioning. First, this study highlighted that previous studies have examined online disinhibition from three perspectives. This paper discusses the contributions and limitations of previous studies and postulates that psychological research on online disinhibition should be conducted from the perspective of the mental state. Three significant models that explain the working of online disinhibition were reviewed: the “benign/toxic disinhibition model,” “online disinhibition/behaviors model,” and “online disinhibition and deindividuation model.” Finally, the “motivation-based online disinhibition model” is proposed as an improved model that solves the limitations of the aforementioned models.
