“…The phenomena of high interaction and equalitarian relationships are not limited to Langlie’s findings, but appear in other studies as well (e.g., Cooley & Seeman, 1979; Duncan, 1966; Heath, 1965; Westley & Epstein, 1969).…”

This article proposes a model of positive health based on a human-system framework. Such a framework is comprehensive in that (a) it encompasses all of the human system's behavioral subsystems (biochemical, physiological, perceptual, cognitive, and interpersonal), and (b) it permits a higher asymptote of health conceptualization and measurement than that afforded by Western biomedical theory. The article sets forth the conceptual basis of the model and reviews empirical studies that support the model. Finally, the article explores implications of the model for health research, for programs of health enhancement, and for the role of the behavioral sciences in health theory.

“…Another pioneering research by Odom et al (1971) reported that children having personality integration elicit higher degrees of direct personto-person self-disclosure; are more task-oriented; and have less tendency of psychological distance with parents. Therefore, personality integration is significantly associated to people interpersonal relationships (Cooley and Seeman, 1979). Besides this, personality integration has high environmental contact, positive self-concept, self-organized and relate to others affectively (Seeman, 1959;Seeman, 1963).…”

“…It was in 1959 that the concept of personality integration came into existence and was defined as “an approach for better understanding of optimal adjustment and effective behavior” (Seeman, 1959). Personality integration has received widespread attention among researchers in clinical and socio–psychology (Cooley and Seeman, 1979; Odom et al , 1971; Rubinstein, 1954). Besides this, many conceptualizations have been studied to explore the phenomena of personality integration and its relation to healthy personality characteristics (Russell-Carroll and Tracey, 2011).…”

Purpose This paper aims to discuss a survey, carried out by the authors, of 256 employees employed in public and private manufacturing organizations in north India, to determine if emotional maturity factors have positive association with self-disclosure in the Indian context. Specifically, capitalization and social exchange theories support as major theoretical framework to examine the proposed relationship. Design/methodology/approach The sample data used were collected through a cross-sectional survey-based research design and a convenience sampling method. Totally, 290 questionnaires were distributed during office hours, administered with a paper and pencil survey. However, in the final analysis, only 256 responses were considered for analysis using multiple hierarchical regression analysis. Findings Results reveal that all dimensions of emotional maturity positively associated with self-disclosure. This study fully supports the applicability of capitalization and social exchange theories while explaining the proposed relationships in Indian context. Research limitations/implications The present study used a cross-sectional survey-based research design; future studies may use longitudinal research design. Practical implications The study shows how to develop collective work culture and supportive work climate through emotional maturity and self-disclosure. Thus, employees become accustomed to multicultural team and cultural diversity issues at the workplace. The study also recommended that the organized employees social gathering will create positive feeling, and that such feelings of belonging to a group among employees will give reasons for self-disclosure and finally, in turn, to employee effectiveness. Originality/value More predominantly, the proposed association has not been examined before and the findings serve as a potential policy guideline for the self-disclosure literature through the perspective of capitalization and social exchange theories in understudied non-US cultures such as India.
