“…Most couples feel they have benefited from the ten sessions and therapists evaluate two‐thirds as improved. Self‐disclosure of personal constructs is effective in significantly reducing symptoms of distress and improving some aspects of marital quality (7, 27, 32, 33, 35). In this discussion, I wish to focus on observations and opinions about how self‐disclosure of personal constructs produces therapeutic change and implications for the practice of marital and family therapy in general.…”

Sidney Jourard's (19) description of the role of self-disclosure in marriage is reviewed. George Kelly's (20) theory of personal constructs is described in an effort to explain the complexity of successful marriages and strong families. A kind of marital therapy based on the technique of self-disclosure and the rationale that couple pathology results from erroneous personal constructs is described. The idea that these faulty schemas largely derive from the observation of and experience with one's parents' marriage is discussed. The self-disclosure of personal constructs may provide a distinctive approach to family therapy.

“…To access the different levels of SMIs' ISD, we used scale-points ranging from “extremely superficial” to “extremely intimate,” indicating that the higher the level of perceived partner disclosure, the greater is the intimacy of the disclosure. A review of the extant literature indicated three critical dimensions of intimacy, capturing the diversity of aspects based on which SMIs may intimately reveal themselves: factual, emotional, and cognitive (Morton, 1978; Stiles, 1978; Waring and Russel, 1980; Dindia, 1988; Reis and Shaver, 1988; Laurenceau et al , 1998; Mitchell, 2006; Mitchell et al , 2008). These dimensions are suitable for measuring the different areas that an individual self-discloses intimately.…”

PurposeThis study develops and validates a scale to measure social media influencers' intimate self-disclosure (SMIs' ISD), by accessing consumer perceptions of the intimacy levels of SMIs' self-disclosure. The authors further evaluate the extent to which SMIs' ISD fosters consumers' self-brand connections via consumer-SMI parasocial relationships.Design/methodology/approachThe scale was developed through item generation, purification, and validation. First, items were generated from existing scales and revised based on feedback provided by experts. The items were subjected to exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses using an online survey with 433 participants. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the predictive power of SMIs' ISD on parasocial relationships and self-brand connections.FindingsThe results suggest that the perceived SMIs' ISD is a unidimensional construct. As proposed, SMIs' ISD enhances consumer-brand connections through the underlying mechanism of consumers' sense of being in a parasocial relationship with an SMI.Originality/valueThis study advances self-disclosure and influencer marketing literature by addressing the lack of measures on SMIs' ISD from a consumer perspective and the scarcity of empirical understanding of how brands can profit from SMIs' capabilities to make intimate self-disclosure. Based on the literature review, this study is the first to empirically consider factual, emotional, and cognitive intimacy to develop scale and demonstrate the importance of SMIs' ISD in developing consumers' self-brand connections.

“…

InterventionsCMT is a short-term psychotherapy aimed at helping spouses improve their marital satisfaction and develop intimacy through cognitive self-disclosure. Cognitive self-disclosure refers to the verbal expression of thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions (Waring, 1988;Waring & Russell, 1980). Spouses are therefore encouraged to disclose their thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions regarding their marital problems and the influence of their parents' relationship on their own.

The Present study investigated by effects of two sets of marital interventions taken from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Marital Therapy (CMT) on level of marital intimacy, dyadic trust, and dyadic adjustment. It was hypothesized that both EFT and CMT would have a positive effect on levels of intimacy, trust, and adjustment as compared to a wait‐list control group and that there would be a differential effect in favor of EFT as compared to CMT. Thirty‐six couples free of marital distress and seeking to enhance theor intimate relationship were randomaly assigned to EFT, CMT, or a wai‐list control group. Therapists' interventions were monitored and found to be faithfully implemented. Groups were equivalent on demographic variables and the quality of the therapeutic alliance. Both EFT and CMT group posttest means were found to be significantly higher than controls on the self‐report measures of intimacy, Observational measures of intimacy revealed differential effects in favor of EFT as comopared to CMT at posttest. At a 10‐week follow‐up, EFT group means were significantly higher than CMT on self‐reported intimacy and adjustment.
