Answer: Sample student response:
Self-disclosure is the communicative process of revealing oneself to another person and the portal through which we build relationships.
Self-disclosure should be intentional—it is the conscious revealing of what you want others to know about you.
Self-disclosure should be gradual—giving too much information too quickly can stop the relationship development or put you at risk.
Self-disclosure should vary—different situations and different relationships call for varying types and depths of disclosure.
Self-disclosure should reciprocal—should adhere to the social norm of reciprocity, which dictates that we are obligated to return a behavior with a similar behavior.
Self-disclosure is governed by rules—there are rules for when, where, and how much to self-disclose and to whom which are specific to cultures and individual relationships.
