Research on self-disclosure has suggested that in dyadic social interactions, self-disclosure by one member of the dyad tends to be reciprocated by the other. Little is known, however, about the parameters of self-disclosure and reciprocity. Investigators have sought to relate self-disclosure to various personality constructs, such as self-monitoring; high self-monitors are sensitive to the expression and self-presentation of others and often use others' disclosures as cues for their own behavior. College students completed the Self-Monitoring Scale and were classified as either high self-monitors (N=24) or low self-monitors (N=24). Each subject was paired with a confederate to discuss four topics. The confederate spoke first, disclosing information that was either high or low in intimacy. The subject then discussed the same topic. Later, subjects completed questionnaires concerning their impressions of both the confederate and the issues discussed. Analysis of the data revealed that high self-monitors were significantly more likely than low self-monitors to imitate the confederate or present similar information. (Author/NRB)
