Abstract: | This study assessed the effects of self-awareness enhanced by a mirror on self-disclosure when another person was present. Subjects disclosed more intimately when looking into a mirror than when no mirror was present. Moreover, 40 men disclosed longer than 40 women, women had a higher rate of self-referenced thought units than men, and questions of medium intimacy elicited more intimate disclosures than questions of low intimacy. |
