The relationship between self-disclosure and perceived understanding in the stepparent-stepchild relationship was investigated. Stepchildren (N = 165) completed a questionnaire about their communication with their stepparents. Participants reported on their self-disclosure (intentionality, amount, positiveness, depth, and honesty) and their feelings of being understood by their stepparents. The results showed that self-disclosure was positively related to perceived understanding. This was especially true for the relationship between honesty of self-disclosure and perceived understanding. Analyses involving gender of the individuals in the stepchild-stepparent dyad showed several differences. The relationship between self-disclosure and perceived understanding was more significant for stepdaughters than for stepsons.
本研究调查了继父母与继子女关系中自我表露与感知到的理解之间的关系。165名继子女完成了一份关于他们与继父母沟通情况的问卷。参与者报告了他们的自我表露情况（意向性、数量、积极性、深度和诚实度）以及他们对被继父母理解的感受。结果表明，自我表露与感知到的理解呈正相关。自我表露的诚实度与感知到的理解之间的关系尤其如此。涉及继子女-继父母二元组中个体性别的分析显示出一些差异。自我表露与感知到的理解之间的关系对继女而言比对继子更为显著。
