A study of the differences between appropriate and inappropriate interpersonal self-disclosure in a work environment

Every interpersonal communication event is unique because the information being self disclosed within each dialogue an individual has with others is distinctive. This preliminary study explores the difference between appropriate and inappropriate interpersonal self-disclosure in a work setting. Disclosure and how it affects workplace relationships is the broad subject studied during the process of interviewing subjects. Subjects for the interviews include 12 males and 12 females from blue and white collar occupations. These subjects have worked in a job full-time for at least two consecutive years. A results section backs up the method used with quotes from participants in the study. Additionally, the conclusions present further questions and possibilities in the research on self-disclosure / Thesis (M.A.)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, The Elliott School of Commmunication
