Self-disclosure is defined as “act of revealing personal information to others” (Archer, 1980, p.183). It plays a key role in development and maintenance of relationships.Since many companies adopt social networking services for their organizational information sharing platform, it is important to identify the process of creating and maintaining social relationship in virtual spaces for successful adoption of SNS. In this research, we identify a self-disclosure as a driving factor for initiating and maintaining online social relationships.This research assumes that the self-disclose strategy adopted by participants in a communication process would be very similar between a face to face communication and a communication through SNS. In addition, this study explores that how the strength of social relationship does affects participants’ self-discloser strategy in SNS.Self-disclosure on SNS is multidimensional and it consists of five dimensions; intent to disclose, amount, the positive-negative nature, the honesty-accuracy, and general depth-control of disclosure. Our research indicates that strength of relationship affect negatively the amount of disclosure on SNS. SNS users, in other words, less reveal themselves in terms of both frequency and duration to other user in strong tie than in weak tie. We found that strength of social ties significantly influenced dimensions of self-disclosure except for the positive-negative nature of disclosure.

BACKGROUND Research proves the effectiveness of psychological interventions in online settings. There is some evidence that people disclose more personal information online than in real life, however, the results appear inconsistent. OBJECTIVE The primary aim was to find out whether people in online counseling disclosed more than individuals receiving “face-to-face” counseling, whether there were differences between the two settings in regard to counseling outcome and whether people in online counseling disclosed more about the counseling to confidants. METHODS A survey was carried out in various counseling centers offering both online and “face-to-face” services. The Disclosure to Therapist Inventory-VI was used to assess the amount of self-disclosure in both settings. Clients’ attitudes towards revealing counseling aspects to other people in their lives were assessed using the Disclosure About Therapy Inventory. In total N= 80 respondents completed the survey, 31 participants received online counseling (38.8%), 49 people had “face-to-face“ counseling (61.3%). RESULTS Contradicting the hypothesis, the present study disproved the assumption that self-disclosure is higher in online counseling. Whereas both samples showed similar levels of disclosure on different counseling topics, clients in “face-to-face” situations revealed significantly more about two topics: self-actualization vs. adaptation (P= .010, d= 0.6) and self-doubt/shortcomings (P= .003, r= 0.33). Two treatment characteristics, namely counseling duration and motives affected the degree of disclosure. In regard to the counseling outcome participants were moderately satisfied in both groups. People in “face-to-face” counseling reported significantly better treatment outcome in regard to the increased capacity to relate well to others (P= .026, r= 0.25). The assumption that a higher level of self-disclosure is associated with better treatment outcomes was verified only for online counseling (P= .024, ß= .470). Clients in both settings disclosed moderately about aspects of their counseling to confidants with no significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The present study could not prove the online disinhibition effect for the counseling setting. As the number of studies conducted on this topic is relatively small the present study calls for further research on larger samples. Thereby, incongruities on self-disclosure can be clarified, possibly leading to the revision of current theories or the development of new ones.

The Relationship

Although current communication media facilitate interactions among individuals, researchers have warned that human relationships built through these media tend to lack the level of intimacy acquired through face-to-face communications. In this study, we investigate how the long-term use of humanlike communication media affects the development of intimate relationships between human users. We examine changes in the relationship between individuals while they converse with each other through humanlike communication media or mobile phones for approximately a month. The intimacy of their relationship was evaluated using the amount of self-disclosed personal information. The result shows that a significantly greater amount of self-disclosure is made through a communication medium with humanlike appearance and soft material compared with the use of a typical mobile phone. The amount of self-disclosure showed cyclic variation in the experiment through humanlike communication media. Furthermore, we discuss a possible underlying mechanism of this effect from the misattribution of a feeling caused by intimate distance with the medium to a conversation partner.

Gender is a difference between women and men which is judged by their behavior and character which is feminine or masculine. Self disclosure is the process of disclosing personal information that is not necessarily known by others. When someone experiences a difference between sex, which is a reproductive tool, and gender which is his nature, then that person will be underestimated by some societies. The subject of this research is male adolescents who are feminine while the object is self-disclosure by male adolescents who are feminine. In this study, the authors will examine the self-disclosure communication process carried out by teenage boys who are feminine. The theory used in this research is the concept of gender, intrapersonal communication, self-disclosure and self-concept. The author uses literature study, interviews, observation and documentation to gather the required information. In the interview process, the writer chose three main sources, namely three teenage boys who have feminine traits and one psychologist as justification. The results showed that male adolescents who have feminine traits are different from gay and transsexual men. Intrapersonal communication is needed by teenage boys in expressing themselves which is feminine. Communicating with himself can make it easier for feminine boys to make decisions. After expressing themselves, male adolescents who are feminine know themselves better and accept the shortcomings and differences between male adolescents who are feminine and male adolescents in general.Gender adalah suatu perbedaan antara perempuan dan laki-laki yang dinilai dari kelakuan dan sifat mereka yang feminin atau maskulin. Self disclosure adalah proses pengungkapan informasi pribadi yang belum tentu diketahui oleh orang lain. Saat seseorang mengalami perbedaan antara sex yang merupakan alat reproduksi dengan gender yang merupakan sifatnya, maka orang tersebut akan dianggap remeh oleh beberapa masyarakat. Subjek dari penelitian ini adalah remaja laki-laki yang bersifat feminin sedangkan objeknya adalah pengungkapan diri yang dilakukan oleh remaja laki-laki yang bersifat feminin. Dalam penelitian ini penulis akan meneliti proses komunikasi pengungkapan diri yang dilakukan oleh remaja laki-laki yang bersifat feminin. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah konsep gender, komunikasi intrapersonal, self disclosure atau pengungkapan diri, dan konsep diri. Penulis menggunakan studi kepustakaan, wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi untuk mengumpulkan informasi yang dibutuhkan. Dalam proses wawancara, penulis memilih tiga narasumber utama yaitu tiga remaja laki-laki yang memiliki sifat feminin dan satu ahli psikolog sebagai pembenaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa remaja laki-laki yang memiliki sifat feminin berbeda dengan gay dan transeksual. Komunikasi intrapersonal dibutuhkan oleh remaja laki-laki dalam mengungkapkan dirinya yang bersifat feminin. Berkomunikasi dengan dirinya sendiri dapat mempermudah remaja laki-laki yang feminin dalam mengambil keputusan. Setelah melakukan pengungkapan diri remaja laki-laki yang bersifat feminin lebih mengenal dirinya sendiri dan menerima kekurangan dan perbedaan antara remaja laki-laki yang bersifat feminin dengan remaja laki-laki pada umumnya.

On online social networks such as Facebook, massive self-disclosure by users has attracted the attention of Industry players and policymakers worldwide. Despite the Impressive scope of this phenomenon, very little Is understood about what motivates users to disclose personal Information. Integrating focus group results Into a theoretical privacy calculus framework, we develop and empirically test a Structural Equation Model of self-disclosure with 259 subjects. We find that users are primarily motivated to disclose Information because of the convenience of maintaining and developing relationships and platform enjoyment. Countervailing these benefits, privacy risks represent a critical barrier to information disclosure. However, users’ perception of risk can be mitigated by their trust in the network provider and availability of control options. Based on these findings, we offer recommendations for network providers.

This study investigated the effect of receiving confirming vs. disconfirming feedback to individuals’ self-disclosure on their self-esteem, the role of giving reciprocal feedback in this relationship, and how these effects differ between online and face-to-face communication. Using a two (communication mode: online vs. face-to-face) by two (feedback valence: confirming vs. disconfirming) between-subjects experiment, we found that feedback had a significant indirect effect on self-esteem, through the receiver’s reciprocal feedback. This indirect effect of feedback differed in online communication from offline: In online communication, participants reciprocated negative feedback when they received it, more than in face-to-face communication. The reciprocal feedback enhanced their self-esteem in online communication, but not in face-to-face communication. Although people tend to respond more negatively to negative comments in online conversations, the process, overall, boosts rather than hinders their self-esteem.
