Which is false of self-disclosure?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When considering statements about self-disclosure, we assess what each option asserts and whether it aligns with widely observed effects in interpersonal communication.
Option A: 'It increases liking.' This is commonly supported by research on self-disclosure, as sharing personal information can build trust and warmth, leading to greater liking between people.
Option B: 'It can deepen and strengthen relationships.' Personal sharing often contributes to relational depth by signaling vulnerability, fostering mutual understanding, and enhancing relational closeness over time.
Option C: 'It better enables behavioural coordination.' Revealing preferences, boundaries, and intentions can improve coordination in joint activities, as partners align on responses, expectations, and plans, reducing ambiguity.
Option D: 'None - all are true.' If A, B, and C are each true in typical contexts, then the statement that none of the others are true follows logically, indicating that every listed effect of self-disclosure is correct in the appropriate circumstances.
Considering the typical effects of self-disclosure, A, B, and C describe valid positive outcomes, while D serves as a summative statement that all preceding claims are true. If any of A–C were false, D would be incorrect, but given the common understanding that disclosure can increase liking, deepen relationships, and aid coordination, D correctly captures that none of A–C are false. In other words, the set of statements A–C is collectively consistent with standard findings on self-disclosure, and D accurately reflects that consensus.
