“…Selfdisclosure makes a unique contribution, however, by encouraging the other person to perceive the discloser as trusting. Imbedded in the act of self-disclosure is the implicit message that the discloser trusts the recipient (Steel, 1991;Worthy, Gary, & Kahn, 1969), which in turn, by motivating liking (Collins & Miller, 1994;Halverson & Shore, 1969) and friendship (Cook, 1978;Pettigrew, 1997) toward the discloser, can reduce out-group bias (Ensari & Miller, 2001Miller, 2002).…”

Two studies examined the reduction of triggered displaced aggression (TDA) via bottom-up processing modes of de-categorization. Participants were provoked by the experimenter and then interacted with an ostensible out-group member who either did or did not provide a second (triggering) provocation. Study 1 compared TDA toward a triggering out-group member who had previously been either differentiated from the out-group, made the focus of self-other comparison, or was in a no-information control condition. As predicted, both differentiation and self-other comparison reduced aggression relative to the control condition. Study 2 examined the effect of negative self-disclosure from the outgroup target, and contrasted its effects with both self-other comparison with a negative other, and a noinformation control condition. As predicted, triggered participants in the negative self-disclosure condition aggressed less than those triggered in the negative self-other comparison or no-information control conditions. The liking induced by self-disclosure mediated its aggression-reducing effect. Copyright # 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Imagine a man who, after being angered by a severe reprimand from his boss, refrains from retaliation for fear of losing his job. A few minutes later, one of his co-workers-an out-group member-borrows a pen from his desk without permission. In response, he publicly berates the borrower for being presumptive and inappropriate, surprising those who witness his outburst in response to such a minor infraction. This scenario illustrates triggered displaced aggression (TDA). The TDA paradigm, as implemented by Pedersen, Gonzales, and Miller (2000), conceptually describes circumstances in which a minor provocation, the trigger, can elicit a retaliatory response of greater magnitude than is warranted by the tit-for-tat matching rule that generally governs social interaction (Axelrod, 1984). It identifies the experience of a previous, more intense provocation as a critical antecedent for this effect.

“…In recent years an increasing amount of theory and research has focused upon self-disclosure as it both affects and is affected by various factors in dyadic relationships (Cozby, 1972;Doster & Strickland, 1969;Halverson & Shore, 1969;Jourard, 1969). Cozby (1973) has suggested that the basic parameters of self-disclosure are (a) amount of information disclosed, (b) degree of intimacy of the information, and (c) duration of the disclosures.…”

Twenty discussion topics were scaled for intimacy of content using (a) category ratings, (b) Thurstone pair-comparison procedures, and (c) the m~thod of magnitude estimation. The. ~elationship betw~n the magnitude values and both the category ratmgs and Thurstone values was curvIlinear, ~uch that stll~lUlus differences in intimacy were larger at the low end of the continuum and smaller at the hIgh end relatIve to magnitude scale differences. The implications of these results for research in the area of personal disclosure are discussed in terms of the differences in conclusions which might be reached depending upon the method used to assess the intimacy of disclosed material.

“…Other investigations which tie selfdisclosure to the firming of a relationship included Jourard and Lasakùw (17) who found that disclosure to parents was positively correlated with liking. Halverson and Shore (10) determined that Peace Corps volunteers who were willing to self-disclose were better liked at the end of a six seeks training period. Moreover, various schools of counseling and psychotherapy encourage the use of self-disclosure by the counselor as a means of generating a positive relationship (15 and 25).…”
