Disclosing information, thoughts, and feelings about personal and meaningful topics (experimental disclosure) is purported to have various health and psychological consequences (e.g., J. W. Pennebaker, 1993). Although the results of 2 small meta-analyses (P. G. Frisina, J. C. Borod, & S. J. Lepore, 2004; J. M. Smyth, 1998) suggest that experimental disclosure has a positive and significant effect, both used a fixed effects approach, limiting generalizability. Also, a plethora of studies on experimental disclosure have been completed that were not included in the previous analyses. One hundred forty-six randomized studies of experimental disclosure were collected and included in the present meta-analysis. Results of random effects analyses indicate that experimental disclosure is effective, with a positive and significant average r-effect size of .075. In addition, a number of moderators were identified.
披露关于个人及有意义主题的信息、想法和感受（实验性披露）据称会产生各种健康和心理方面的后果（例如，J. W. 彭尼贝克，1993年）。尽管两项小型元分析（P. G. 弗里西纳、J. C. 博罗德和S. J. 莱波雷，2004年；J. M. 史密斯，1998年）的结果表明实验性披露具有积极且显著的效果，但两者均采用固定效应方法，限制了普遍性。此外，此前的分析未纳入大量已完成的关于实验性披露的研究。本研究收集了146项关于实验性披露的随机研究并将其纳入当前的元分析。随机效应分析结果表明实验性披露是有效的，平均r效应大小为0.075，呈显著正向。此外，还确定了一些调节因素。
