  2. Self-Disclosure Chapter 8 Lecture/Recap

  3. Relevance to the study of interpersonal communication?

  4. Self-Disclosure • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbtdtxNLh7A • “…personal information, shared intentionally, that another person would have trouble finding out without being told” (p. 155). • “I decided to wear pink today” • “I decided to wear pink today in support of my loved ones who have battled breast cancer” • Verbal behaviors (intentional) • “I really have a crush on Will but no one knows because I’m afraid he won’t like me back” VERSUS • “You blush every time Will comes around—you must have a crush on him!”

  5. Features of self-disclosure • Must be INTENTIONAL • What, how, how much • Must trust the individual • How do we know? • Disclosing private information • Private (reflection of self-concept) vs. public (our public image) • Level of risk involved -- WHY?

  6. SUBJECTIVITY • Private vs. Public • History vs. Story • More risk associated with story

  7. Factors Impacting disclosure • Individual differences (ties to subjectivity) • The need for openness and disclosure • Type and life of relationship (3 patterns—p. 16o) • Disclosure often levels off or decreases • Framing disclosure -- based on relationship type • Example:(8:00 mark) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puObmB1Ga3Q • Culture • Sex and Gender

  8. Principles of self-disclosure • Great deal of disclosure in few interactions • Usually occurs between 2 people in close relationships • Exceptions? • Ex: 3 friends discussing a break up; the bus rider phenomenon • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8p2dYpeO6U • Reciprocal process • Immediate? • Matching self-disclosure vs. concern • Example: Clip (Charlotte and Miranda) • Occurs over time • Relationship development linked with self-disclosure

  9. Theories/models • Dialectics Theory • Tension – privacy vs. disclosure • Four ways to address this tension • Cyclic alternation (disclose or keep private at different times) • Segmentation (certain topics for separate settings) • Selection (choose one side; ignore the other) • Integration (neutralizing—happy medium, disqualifying—taboo topics, reframing)

  10. Theories/models • Social Penetration Theory/Model • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bMcXVe8zIs – why is this an example of penetration theory? • Breadth vs. Depth • Application Exercise #8-Part 1 (5pts): Draw your onion! Consider each level as more information. Also consider different relationships. Where would you put discussions of: • Your relationship with a significant other • Your political views • Your religious views • Your goals and aspirations • General information about your family • Detailed information about your family • Detailed information about your medical history • Your hobbies, interest, favorite things • Your pet peeves and dislikes • What would it take for you to peel back each layer?

  11. THEORIES/MODEL • Johari (Joseph + Harry) Window • Four panes: Open, Hidden, Blind, and Unknown • Application Exercise #8-Part 2 (5pts): Draw out your Johari Window for these different encounters/relationships: • With your parent • With your best friend • With your professor

  12. Why do we self disclose? • Psychological (e.g. catharsis) or physical well being • Self awareness • Relationships • Begin a relationship • Maintain a relationship • Satisfy expectations of a good relationship • Escalate a relationship

  13. Why wouldn’t we disclose? • To avoid hurt/rejection • Consider “ambushing” from our discussion on listening • To avoid conflict/protect a relationship • To keep image and/or individuality • To reduce stress

  14. How to effectively self-disclose • Owning (I-Statements) • Honesty • Consistency • Non-distracting verbal cues • Relevancy (consider the context) • To situation and conversation • Risks vs. Benefits analysis • Predict reactions/responses (of the receiver) and effects (on the relationship) • Appropriateness • Amount, type, receiver

  15. Group Discussion • Get in groups for discussion; active discussion part of class participation/attendance • One person—take notes about discussion. Is self-disclosure necessary? Why or why not? • Is privacy more important? Why or why not? • Tie both to interpersonal communication • What is your view on technology and how it has impacted self-disclosure? • Do you think there has been a positive or negative effect? Explain. • Provide examples • How do those “effects” impact interpersonal communication?
