Guidelines on Self-Disclosure

Self Disclosure sometimes cause harm, such as the risk of rejection or ridicule another person, even may cause material losses. For that, we should study carefully the consequences before deciding to make the disclosure themselves. According to DeVito (1992) the things that need to be considered in self-disclosure is as follows:

a. Motivation to perform self-disclosure
Disclosure must be driven by a sense of self-interest in relationships with others and yourself. Because self-disclosure is not only concerned with ourselves, but also concerned with other people. Sometimes we express openness can only hurt the feelings of others.

b. Suitability of self disclosure.
In making the disclosure itself must be adapted to environmental conditions. Disclosure itself should be done at the right time and place. For example if we want to express something to someone else then we should be able to see whether the time and place are correct.

c. Reciprocity and others.
During the self disclosure, give the other person a chance to make the disclosure themselves. If the other person's self-disclosure we are not doing well, then there is the possibility that people are not like the openness that we do.
