Abstract: This study identified factors that contribute to adolescents' online trust. Two hypotheses are stated: (1) there is a significant influence of social loneliness and self-esteem toward self-disclosure; and (2) social support has a significant influence toward online trust, with self-disclosure as a mediator. 205 high school students completed a survey covering four self-rated scales: online trust, self-disclosure, social support, and loneliness. Each scale met the psychometric standards of validity and reliability. Data was analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings confirmed both hypotheses. The Goodness of Fit as indicated by a chi-square coefficient of 345.06 (p = .00); RMSEA: .04; CFI: .98; and TLI: .98, exceeded the set criteria. The main determinant of the direct effect of social trust and online trust model (β = .35**) was self-disclosure, a mediator on the effect of social support toward online trust (β = .05). The variables which directly influenced self-disclosure were loneliness (β = -.31**), self-esteem (β = .14), and social support (β = .24**).
