The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among autonomous friendship motivation, self-disclosure to friends, and adjustment. Junior high school students, 430 in all, participated in the study. Results showed that intrinsic motivation was associated with superficial disclosure, and identification and external motivation with internal disclosure. In addition, intrinsic motivation and internal disclosure predicted better adjustment. It was suggested that internal disclosure mediated the relationship between identification motivation and adjustment, and that intrinsic motivation was associated with adjustment directly.
