1 The Japanese Journal of Psychology 1990, Vol. 61, No. 3, The effects of a recipient's openness and conveyance to a third party of the self-disclosure on change in the discloser's liking and self-disclosure Takashi Oguchi (Department of Social Psychology, Faculty of Let ters The University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113) One hundred and ninety-nine university students (101 males, 98 females) served in a study designed to examine various factors affecting a discloser's degree of liking of and self-disclosure to a recipient. Specifically, the effects of (1) the recipient's degree of openness (high, low), (2) whether or not the recipient conveyed the discloser's self-disclosure to a third party (yes, no), and (3) the intimacy of self disclosure by the discloses (high, low) were assessed in terms of (a) change in self-disclosure by the discloser and (b) change in liking by the discloser. Results confirmed the hypotheses that; (1) the degree of openness of the recipient and the conveyance of self-disclosure by the recipient would interact with change in the discloser's liking of and self-disclosure to the recipient, and, (2) the degree of open ness of the recipient and the intimacy of self-disclosure would interact with change in the discloser's liking of and self-disclosure to the recipient. Moreover, females were found to be more sensitive than males to conveyance by the recipient. Key words: self-disclosure, openness, conveyance of self-disclosure, intimacy of self-disclosure, liking.
