Self-disclosure plays a central role in the development and maintenance of relationships. One way that researchers have explored these processes is by studying the links between self-disclosure and liking. Using meta-analytic procedures, the present work sought to clarify and review this literature by evaluating the evidence for 3 distinct disclosure-liking effects. Significant disclosure-liking relations were found for each effect: (a) People who engage in intimate disclosures tend to be liked more than people who disclose at lower levels, (b) people disclose more to those whom they initially like, and (c) people like others as a result of having disclosed to them. In addition, the relation between disclosure and liking was moderated by a number of variables, including study paradigm, type of disclosure, and gender of the discloser. Taken together, these results suggest that various disclosure-liking effects can be integrated and viewed as operating together within a dynamic interpersonal system. Implications for theory development are discussed, and avenues for future research are suggested.
自我表露在人际关系的发展和维持中起着核心作用。研究人员探索这些过程的一种方式是研究自我表露与喜爱之间的联系。通过元分析程序，本研究试图通过评估三种不同的表露-喜爱效应的证据来澄清和综述这一文献。每种效应都发现了显著的表露-喜爱关系：（a）进行亲密表露的人比进行较低程度表露的人更受喜爱，（b）人们向他们最初喜欢的人表露得更多，（c）人们因为向他人表露而喜欢上他人。此外，表露与喜爱之间的关系受到多种变量的调节，包括研究范式、表露类型和表露者的性别。综合来看，这些结果表明，各种表露-喜爱效应可以整合起来，并被视为在一个动态的人际系统中共同起作用。讨论了对理论发展的启示，并提出了未来研究的方向。
