intimate with other people and our
interpersonal relationship is strengthened
• Self Disclosure means purposefully
provide information to others about
yourself that they otherwise would not
know or discover
7. Functions of Self-Disclosure …
• Self-disclosure is a way of gaining information
about another person. We want to be able to
predict the thoughts and actions of people we
know
• Self-disclosure is one way to learn about how
another person thinks and feels. Once one
person engages in self-disclosure, it is implied
that the other person will also disclose personal
information. This is known as the norm of
reciprocity
• Mutual disclosure deepens trust in the
relationships and helps both people understand
each other more. You also come to feel better
about yourself and your relationship when the
other person accepts what you tell them
9. What is TA?
