Question 3

Differentiate between private disclosures and self-disclosures. Are they basically the same? Different? Use examples.

Accepted Answer

Private disclosures and self-disclosures are not the same, as they involve different parties and levels of control over the information being shared.

Private disclosures refer to the act of sharing personal information with another individual or a select group of people in a private setting. This can include sharing personal experiences, feelings, or thoughts with a close friend, family member, or therapist. An example of a private disclosure could be confiding in a friend about a difficult situation at work or sharing personal struggles with a therapist during a counseling session.

On the other hand, self-disclosures refer to the act of sharing personal information about oneself with others in a variety of settings, including public or private. This can include sharing personal experiences, feelings, or thoughts with a wider audience, such as on social media or in a public speaking engagement. An example of a self-disclosure could be sharing personal achievements or struggles on a public blog or social media platform.

While both private disclosures and self-disclosures involve sharing personal information, the key difference lies in the level of control and the audience involved. Private disclosures are typically shared with a trusted individual or a small, select group, while self-disclosures are shared with a wider audience, often with less control over who may have access to the information.

In conclusion, private disclosures and self-disclosures are not basically the same; they differ in terms of the audience and level of control over the information being shared. Both types of disclosures play a role in interpersonal communication and self-expression, but they serve different purposes and involve different levels of intimacy and privacy.
