The Relationship between Self-Disclosure and Perceived Intercultural Effectiveness.
Chen, Guo-Ming
A study examined the relationships between self-disclosure and perceived intercultural effectiveness. Subjects, 129 foreign students from Asia attending a large midwestern university and a large eastern university in the United States, completed two sets of questionnaires. Results from Pearson product-moment correlation, canonical analysis, and stepwise multiple regression analysis showed: (1) positive relationships between intent, honesty, and positiveness of self-disclosure and intercultural effectiveness; and (2) negative relationships between amount and depth of self-disclosure and intercultural effectiveness. Results of one-way analysis of variance on self-disclosure and intercultural effectiveness further indicated the differences among subjects from different nations. Findings suggest that, for Asians, the amount and depth of self-disclosure were the least important elements in forming an intimate relationship.
