“…As it happens, many of these conditions occurred by happenstance or indirectly. These findings are consistent with reports that indirect disclosures are more likely when the topic of disclosure is stigmatized (An & McDermott, 2014). Yet despite fear of negative evaluation, the adult children in the present study explicitly stated that they wanted to help others and had overcome some of their fears to communicate to others that they were not alone.…”

Disclosing a family disruption like estrangement might be an important first step in garnering supportive communication, yet disclosure also might come with costs. Grounded in the disclosure literatures, this study illuminates the conditions under which adult children disclose estrangement from parents to their social networks and the perceived reactions of social network members to such disclosures. Findings from a thematic analysis of 52 narrative interviews reveal that adult children go to great lengths to keep their estrangement private, but disclose (a) when others witnessed conflict, (b) when asked, (c) when disclosure was indirect, and (d) when (they perceived) it would benefit others. Reactions to disclosure were rarely ambivalent, and adult children primarily felt unsupported by their network. Practical applications are discussed.

“…The Disclosure Processes Model (DPM) is used to inform understanding of how individuals disclose stigmatized traits (Chaudoir & Fisher, 2010;Chaudoir et al, 2011), including in studies on disclosure of HIV (Whembolua et al, 2019), mental illness (An & McDermott, 2014;Smith, 2019), sexual assault (Pinciotti et al, 2019), and substance abuse (Earnshaw et al, 2019), among others.…”

Endometriosis is a stigmatized health disorder that impacts approximately 10% of the female population around the world and is characterized by severe physical and psychological symptoms. Through the interpretive perspective, this study investigated how women with endometriosis disclose about their disorder in the workplace. Potential participants were recruited using Reddit and Facebook. Participants (N = 119) completed an anonymous, online, open-ended questionnaire. Open-ended responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. Five themes emerged related to how endometriosis patients disclose about their disorder at work: 1) frequency of communication 2) level of openness 3) type of content shared 4) preferred setting for conversations and 5) preferred conversational partner. Furthermore, the findings revealed that disclosure about endometriosis is significantly impacted by workplace environment. These findings are contextualized by the theoretical framework provided by the disclosure process model. Overall, this study offers a starting point for deeper empirical investigation of mechanisms influencing disclosure and informs future research directed toward developing interventions that may enable organizations to better accommodate affected employees.

“…Self-disclosure is a key method for challenging stigma and promoting empowerment. The experiential knowledge derived from interpersonal contact can result in improvement in attitudes toward mental health issues (An & McDermott, 2014). The interaction of a person with a disclosed mental health condition and a member of the general public is known formally as Contact.…”

“…Despite the serious nature of living with a mental health challenge in the midst of great societal stigma, limited attention has been given to the topic of disclosure of lived experience. Individuals are encouraged to share their stories, yet little is known about how to do so effectively (An & McDermott, 2014; Bos, Kanner, Muris, Janssen, & Mayer, 2009).…”
