Self-Disclosure: A Psychological Pro

Abstract

Self-disclosure, whether in case of clinical, educational, commercial, social networking or in mental health domain had been a crucial factor for alliance formation, cleansing one’s emotional, conscious, and unconscious states. Such disclosure becomes necessary to promote reboot of internal states and refresh one’s homeostasis. During COVID, social networking sites (SNSs) had been a prominent platform for self-disclosure incorporating both male and female variations. Contemporarily, chatbots had tried simulating interactions with people for the acquisition of self-disclosure which had been proven to be an effective strategy. Even commercial sectors had imbibed self-disclosure methods for consumer marketing and brand image where smartphones had been found to be an economical asset. Unfortunately, self-disclosure rates declined steadily with age due to maturity levels & males tend to self- disclose less relatively to females. The following review endeavours to elucidate the modality of self-disclosure via the above-mentioned summarization.
