Abstract
To examine effects of self-disclosure intimacy and desirability on interpersonal attraction, 48 female subjects were presented with a scene of conversation between two women over VTR, in which the level of intimacy and desirability of disclosure was manipulated independently. Then, they were asked to rate the attractiveness of the discloser from the point of view of the listener. Both disclosure dimensions had positive effects on interpersonal attraction. Also, the dimensions of disclosure had differential effects on attraction: The discloser who provided desirable information about herself was more highly evaluated in the “affiliation” dimension than one who provided undesirable one, while, the discloser who provided intimate aspects of herself was more highly evaluated in the “nurturance” dimension than one who disclosed superficial aspects.
