“…Similarly, the absence of any outcome measure prevents an understanding of the relationship between disclosure and outcome. That these data were collected via self-report leaves open, too, the question of the accuracy of participants' judgments regarding extent of disclosure (see Pederson & Breglio, 1968).…”

This study used the 80-item Disclosure to Therapist Inventory-R to investigate the nature of patient disclosure within therapy. Participants (45 men, 102 women) were all currently in therapy. A Principal Components Analyses with varimax rotation yielded nine meaningful factors; mean disclosure scores were lowest for the factors of Sexuality and Procreation and highest for the factors of Negative Affect and Intimacy. Specific items most extensively discussed included characteristics of parents that are disliked, and aspects of one's personality that are disliked or worrisome. No significant differences were found in overall degree of disclosure as a function of patient gender or shame-proneness; disclosure was, however, found to be positively correlated with strength of the therapeutic alliance.

“…Jourard's (1964) instrument has been criticized for lack of predictive validity (e.g., Cozby, 1973). It has been shown, however, that total scores for the instrument are correlated with the amount and intimacy of disclosure 01; written self-descriptions (Pederson & Breglio, 1968 Further, as Cozby (1973, p. 74) points out, predictive validity studies of the instrument in its original form correlated subjects' past history of disclosure to parents and individuals labeled "best same-sex friend" and "best opposite-sex friend" with "actual disclosure," which was measured by assessing subjects'disclosure "to an experimenter or to peers whom the subjects have never met." The instrument used here assessed the subjects' disclosure to three specific people, not labeled categories.…”

A model of uncertainty reduction theory was tested that was derived from Berger and Calabrese's (1975) theory of initial interactions and recent extensions of the theory (ex., Berger, 1979;Berger & Bradac. 1982) across three relationships (acquaintances, friends, and dates) in three cultures: Japan, Korea, and the United States. The model was tested using LISRELandfound to be a reasonablefit to the data for all three relationships in all three cultures. The percentage of variance explained in attributional confidence was found to be lower for friends than for dates and acquaintances. For the United States data more variance was explained in attributional confidence in acquaintances than dates; however, thefindings were reverse for the Japanese and Koreon data. Thesefindings were discussed in light of previous research on uncertainty reduction theory and relationship development. Shortcomings of the model also were pointed out based on early critiques of the theory (e.g.. Bochner, 1978)anda recent elaboration that examined the context in which romantic relationships develop (Parks & Adelman, 1983). Berger and Calabrese's (1975) uncertainty reduction theory focuses upon initial interactions. The central construct is uncertainty and the theory explicates the relationships of several variables (e.g., similarity, attraction, amount of communication) to the reduction of uncertaintyWilliam B.

“…Unfortunately, definitional and measurement problems have hampered substantial progress in this area. A number of self-report measures have been introduced (Jourard, 1959(Jourard, , 1961Jourard & Lasakow, 1958;Levinger & Senn, 1967;Lubin, 1965;Plog, 1965), but their validity has been shown to be generally unsatisfactory (Himelscein & Kimbrough, 1963;Himelstein & Lubin, 1965;Hurley & Hurley, 1969;Lubin & Harrison, 1964;Pederson & Breglio, 1968;Vondracek, 1969b). Furthermore, the literature on self-disclosure does not provide evidence of consistent relationships between self-disclosure and any therapeutic or personality variables (Himelstein & Lubin, 1966;Lubin, 1965;Stanley & Bownes, 1966;Vondracek, 1968).…”

The Rotter Interpersonal Trust Scale and a Self-disclosure Questionnaire developed by the junior author were administered to two samples of college students. In the first sample ( N = 54) self-disclosure to a specific target person was related to Interpersonal Trust; in the second sample (N = 52) it was artempred to tap a more generalized concept of revealingness and to relate it to Interpersonal Trust. Failure to demonstrate the hypothesized relationships is discussed wich reference to unsatisfactory conceptualization of the major concepts and their relation to one another, and possible weaknesses in the measurement procedures.In recent years self-disclosure has become a much-studied phenomenon. Various investigators have studied self-disclosure in actual therapeutic sirnations and in psychotherapeutic analogues. Others have studied self-disclosure in group settings and in vario~ls other interpersonal situations. Unfortunately, definitional and measurement problems have hampered substantial progress in this area.
