The Masculine and Feminine Self-Disclosure Scale: The Politics of Masculine and Feminine Self-Preservation.

Snell, William E., Jr.; And Others

Sex Roles, v15 n5-6 p249-67 Sep 1986

Describes a new self-disclosure questionnaire devised to examine women's and men's willingness to disclose information about their "masculine" and "feminine" aspects. Applied to 156 undergraduates, the scale was found to be reliable and valid, and particularly useful when the concern is with the disclosure of instrumental and expressive personality characteristics.
