Self-disclosure is revealing information about
yourself to others, information that is
normally hidden.
Self-disclosure is influenced by a variety of
factors:
who you are,
your culture,
your gender,
your listeners, and your topic.
Among the rewards of self-disclosure are
• self-knowledge,
• ability to cope,
• communication effectiveness,
• meaningfulness of relationships, and
physiological health.
Among the dangers are personal risks,
• relational risks, professional risks, and
• the fact that communication is irreversible;
once something is said, you can't take it
back.




In self-disclosing consider your motivation,
the appropriateness of the disclosure to the
person and context,
the disclosures of others (the dyadic effect),
and
the possible burdens that the self-disclosure
might impose on others and on yourself.
•

•
•
In responding to the disclosures of others,
listen effectively,
support and reinforce the discloser,
keep disclosures confidential, and
don't use disclosures as weapons.
In some situations you'll want to resist selfdisclosing by being determined not to be
pushed into it, being assertive and direct, or
being indirect.
People travel to wonder at the
height of mountains, at the huge
waves of the sea, at the long
courses of rivers, at the vast
compass of the ocean, at the
circular motion of the stars; and
they pass by themselves without
wondering.
