These findings are consistent with the following results of studies: significant differences in friendships among adolescent boys and girls [17,18], and gender differences in personal relations with friends due to their developmental stages [6,19].…”

We examined the effect of the factors of hesitancy toward and the motivation for self-disclosure on loneliness using the postulated model: hesitancy toward and motivation for self-disclosure → self-disclosure → loneliness. Five scales about self-disclosure and loneliness were administered to 235 junior high school students. Findings suggest that release of one's feelings strongly promotes self-disclosure and anxiety about the target causes hesitancy toward engaging in selfdisclosure; hesitancy toward personal or private self-disclosure also has an effect on loneliness.There have been many studies about self-disclosure in social psychology or clinical psychology. Self-disclosure refers to the process by which individuals reveal personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences to other people (Reis, 2000).

The importance of disclosing personal and intimate information about oneself has been emphasized in the context of friendship formation and good health.

Hatfield (1984) listed negative effects of selfdisclosure as follows: fear of exposure, fear of abandonment, fear of angry attacks, fear of loss of control, fear of one's own destructive impulses, and fear of losing one's individuality. Disclosing negative information sometimes has an

Thirty friendship items were selected by referring to the previously established friendship scale (Ochiai & Sato, 1996), and modifying these items to fit the friendship of early adolescence. A 4-point scale was used for ratings, with anchors of not at all (1) to very strongly (4).…”

By the second factor analysis of friendship in adolescence, the types of friendship were grouped into four (broad-deep friendship, narrow-deep friendship, broad-shallow friendship and narrow-shallow friendship).…”
