Abstract
This study was designed to determine if physical distance, subjects' sex, experimenters' sex, intimacy of questions, and individual differences in experimenters affect the duration of self-disclosure. Analysis showed males talked more than females, subjects talked more to female experimenters than to male experimenters, and subjects talked more in response to questions of medium than of low intimacy and talked more in response to questions of low intimacy than of high intimacy. Higher-order interactions were discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
