Abstract
Flexibility in disclosure, the variability in intimacy of one''s self-revelations across disclosure targets and situations, has been related to social adjustment and perceptiveness. The relationship between flexibility of disclosure and cognitive variables utilized within the framework of personal construct theory was studied. Disclosure flexibility was positively related to cognitive integration and negatively related to cognitive differentiation.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
