大学生の友人における自己開示と友人に抱く印象との関連―自己開示の深さ，友人との親しさ，主観的類似度，信頼感，好意度に着目して

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between self-disclosure and characteristics of friendship. Depth of self-disclosure was categorized into four levels and characteristics included degree of familiarity, subjective similarity, sense of trust, and favorableness. The results suggest that (1) the amount of all levels of self-disclosure to close friends was greater than that to other friends; and (2) when subjective similarity or sense of trust or favorableness is high, the amount of all levels of self-disclosure is high. The results suggest that it is possible to study subjective similarity and favorableness as a manipulated variable to understand what factors promote self-disclosure.
