This is called self-clarification. The risk of self-disclosure, however, is that Conrad would have to open himself up with the possibility of being rejected, a feeling that he feels all too often from his mother. For Beth, the benefit of self-disclosure would allow her to grieve for the loss of her son; something she has apparently not yet done. However, the main benefit she would receive from this would be relationship maintenance and enhancement. The risk of self-disclosure for Beth, though, is negative impression. Lastly, for Calvin, I believe that he would also benefit from self-disclosure with relationship maintenance and enhancement. The risk is hurting another person, though, and this is something he already holds himself accountable for…
When we watch this movie we see many of examples with self-disclosure but three examples that really stood out was when Livvy just wouldn’t really tell Ray what was going on with her but ends up finding out a lot of things like she is bothered by her mother’s death.

On the other hand Livvy hides a lot like when she was writing letters to the man that is the real father…

The teacher would then collect the envelope and place the index card on a poster board along with the rest of my classmates for viewing. Throughout this paper, I will discuss how the post secret exercise relates to the social penetration theory, my reaction to the post secret exercise, how anonymous self-disclosure differs from interpersonal communication.…
Self-disclosure is an important part of any close relationship. Without sharing our own fears and weaknesses, we can come off as cold and unapproachable. Finding common themes, in strength and in weakness, creates a bond and understanding between two people. Cindy and I have always been very good at self-disclosure. When talking one-on-one, we take time to listen to each other, showing positive reciprocity. The more we got to know each other, the more comfortable we felt divulging information. This is because we came to count on a supportive environment, where our thoughts and feelings are respected. Being able to talk through situations and be supportive gives us self-clarification and self-validation. Often this happens when one of us is feeling unsure about something, and the other is able to provide a soundboard and support, where others might try to force their opinion.…

Communication is a transactional process where information is shared through a channel from a sender to a receiver. The receiver then decodes the message and gives the sender feedback. Communication is an essential part to life, it builds relationships, allows people to share their beliefs and culture, informs, persuades and entertains people, although, communication cannot always be easy. Factors that can hurt communication or make it ineffective are the channel through which the message is portrayed or whether the receiver is listening to the message. Also, the message can be interpreted wrong based on how that person is feeling. For example, if someone is in a bad mood, that event or conversation could go the wrong way because of his or her frame. This paper examines the role of communication in the development of my life.…
When an individual enters the presence of others they commonly seek to acquire information about him or to bring into play information about him already possessed. They will be interested in his general socio-economic status, his conception of self, his attitude toward them, his com¬petence, his trustworthiness, etc. Although some of this information seems to be sought almost as an end in itself, there are usually quite practical reasons for acquiring it. Information about the individual helps to define the situa¬tion, enabling others to know in advance what he will expect of them and what they may expect of him. Informed in these ways. the others will know how best to act in order to call forth a desired response from him.…

One of the concepts of interpersonal communication present in the movie is self-disclosure. Self-disclosure involves purposefully providing information to others that they would not learn if you did not tell them.

The quality of an interpersonal relationship can be enhanced through this process.…
Telling the interlocutor about a piece of undisclosed information (that is authorised to be disclosed and whom the interlocutor might not have heard about), may well lead the interlocutor to tell a story not revealed before. If sharing unrestricted information, which the interlocutor finds relevant, then the interlocutor may well share other relevant information in return. Contacts start either as a walk-in or through the result of cautious preparation and cultivation that leads to a knowing the interlocutor and building…
