Abstract
This article reports the results of a study that compared several statistical tests of reciprocity of self-disclosure (SD): the correlation between a subject's perception of his or her SD to the partner and the partner's SD to the subject, the correlation between a subject's perception of his or her SD to a partner and the partner's perception of his or her SD to the subject; the correlation between objective observations of partners' SD and the sequential analysis of partners' SD. The results of the study were as follows. In 30 dyadic conversations between strangers, a subject's perceptions of his or her SD to the partner was positively related to the subject's perceptions of the partner's SD to the subject; a subject's perception of his or her SD to the partner was not positively related to the partner's perception of his or her SD to the subject; there was no positive relationship between partners' observed SD; and one person's SD did not increase the probability of the partner's subsequent SD, and vice versa. Thus little evidence for reciprocity of SD was found.
