Gender, Religion, and Adolescent Patterns of Self-Disclosure in the Divided Society of Northern Ireland.

Hargie, Owen D. W.; Tourish, Dennis; Curtis, Louise

Adolescence, v36 n144 p665-79 Win 2001

The effects of gender and religious affiliation on adolescents' disclosure to friends and strangers were assessed with Year 11 students (N=288). Adolescents of Catholic and Protestant denominations were willing to disclose to friends and strangers. Although females were significantly higher disclosures, religion did not play a key role. Gender was more of a factor than political affiliation. (JDM)
