The purpose of this study was to examine how perceived solidarity, self‐disclosure, and trust differ in organizational members’ interactions between information peers and both collegial and special peers. Participants were 392 members of various organizations who completed the Interpersonal Solidarity Scale (Wheeless, 1978), the Revised Self‐Disclosure Scale (Wheeless & Grotz, 1976), and the Individualized Trust Scale (Wheeless & Grotz, 1977) in regard to either an information, a collegial, or a special peer. Results indicate that perceived solidarity and trust, but not self‐disclosure, were found to be lower with information peers than with either collegial peers or special peers. Additionally, perceived solidarity was found to be higher with special peers than with collegial peers. Future research should examine whether participation in an information, collegial, or special peer relationship has an impact on organizational citizenship behaviors.
