Abstract
This study was designed to determine whether subjects self-disclose more when experimenters self-disclose than when experimenters do not self-disclose, if subjects' self-disclosure is related to sex of the experimenters, and if experimenters' self-disclosure affects subjects' feelings toward the experimenter and experiment. Subjects self-disclosed more when experimenters self-disclosed, men self-disclosed more than women, and subjects reported more positive feelings when experimenters self-disclosed. While no significant effect occurred as a function of experimenters' sex, other characteristics of experimenters affected subjects' self-disclosure.
