Two contrasting sets of expectations bear upon patterns of self-disclosure in dating couples. Traditional sex roles call for greater disclosure by women than by men. In contrast, an emerging ethic of openness calls for full and, therefore, equal disclosure by the two partners. The results of a questionnaire study of 231 college-student dating couples attested to the impact of both sets of expectations. Strikingly high proportions of both women and men reported that they had disclosed their thoughts and feelings "fully" to their partners in almost all domains. But women had revealed more than men in several specific areas, including their greatest fears, and women were more likely to be identified as the more highly disclosing partners. Both men and women in couples with egalitarian sex-role attitudes disclosed more than those in couples with traditional sex-role attitudes. Self-disclosure was strongly related to respondents' reported love for their partners, but not to the power structure of their relationships. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
