The effects of people's affiliative tendency and sensitivity to rejection on the amount of self-disclosure in the acquaintance process were examined using a story format. Subject was presented with a sequential set of simulated interaction scenarios involving themselves and a hypothetical other person. After reading each scenario, subject was presented with a self-disclosure questionnaire containing eight high and eight low intimacy topics, and was asked to rate how much they would disclose each topic to him on 4-point scales. It was found that, in intimate area, affiliative tendency tended to facilitate self-disclosure at every stage of the relationship, whereas sensitivity to rejection inhibited it at the earlier stage. Further implications for future research were also suggested.
