Jourard's Self-disclosure Questionnaire (Jourard & Lasakow, 1958) was administered to 145 college students. Females were significantly more self-disclosing than males and both sexes disclosed more to friends than to siblings, with preference for disclosure to siblings of the same sex but no discrimination by sex in disclosure to friends.
