“…That is, some research finds that males are less likely to disclose compared to females (Buhrmester & Prager, 1995;DeVoe & Faller, 1999;Hershkowitz, Horowitz, & Lamb, 2005;Stander et al, 2002), whereas others find no gender differences (DiPietro et al, 1997;Goodman-Brown, Edelstein, Goodman, Jones, & Gordon, 2003;Kellogg & Hoffman, 1995;Varia et al, 1996). Although disclosure studies that focus on race and ethnicity are limited (Paine & Hansen, 2002), some researchers have found that Whites are more likely to disclose (Lon-don, Bruck, Ceci, & Shuman, 2005;Stander et al, 2002;Toukmanian & Brouwers, 1998); other researchers find no ethnic differences (Bottoms, Rudnicki, & Epstein, 2007;Kellogg & Hoffman, 1995;London, Bruck, Ceci, & Shuman, 2007). In terms of age, disclosure research is equivocal, with some studies finding that older children are more likely to disclose than younger children (Buhrmester & Prager, 1995;DiPietro et al, 1997;Goodman-Brown et al, 2003;Hershkowitz et al, 2005).…”
