A study of factors that influence self-disclosure and change of real-ideal self discrepancies

Abstract

Studied self-disclosure intimacy and change of real self-ideal self discrepancies by measuring levels of objective self-awareness, interviewer feedback, and real self-ideal self discrepancy. Human subjects: 56 normal female Japanese adults (undergraduate students). Ss were pretested on discrepancy level and then were exposed either to their own tape-recorded voice or someone else's voice before disclosing on a series of topics given by an interviewer. The interviewer responded to Ss in an accepting or a nonaccepting manner. A series of analyses of variance was performed.
