Date of correction: February 24, 2009 Reason for correction: - Correction: ABSTRACT Details: Wrong : One hundred and fifty Japanese undergraduates were randomly assigned either a counseling interview condition (a “getting help” goal; n=75) or a hiring interview condition (a “selling myself” goal; n=75). Subjects' beliefs about the intimacy of information about themselves, perceived communication skills, disclosure strategies, and the willingness of self-disclosure were assessed. The “getting help” goal led to a great amount of disclosure strategies and higher levels of willingness of self-disclosure than the “selling myself” goal, Path analysis indicated that the goals, the beliefs, and the perceived communication skills jointly affected the strategies, and that the strategies, in turn, mediated between the goals and the willingness of self-disclosure. Implications for the goal-based model of self-disclosure (Miller & Read, 1987) were discussed.

Abstract

One hundred and fifty Japanese undergraduates were randomly assigned either a counseling interview condition (a “getting help” goal; n=75) or a hiring interview condition (a “selling myself” goal; n=75). Subjects' beliefs about the intimacy of information about themselves, perceived communication skills, disclosure strategies, and the willingness of self-disclosure were assessed. The “getting help” goal led to a great amount of disclosure strategies and higher levels of willingness of self-disclosure than the “selling myself” goal. Path analysis indicated that the goals, the beliefs, and the perceived communication skills jointly affected the strategies, and that the strategies, in turn, mediated between the goals and the willingness of self-disclosure, Implications for the goal-based model of self-disclosure (Miller & Read, 1987) were discussed.
