Abstract
This study seeks to add to previous research regarding family secrets by exploring intrafamily and individual family secrets from a family communication pattern and parent–young adult child conflict style perspective. Results showed conversation orientation, conformity orientation, or conflict styles did not predict disclosure separately. However, the use of a collaborating conflict style did indirectly mediate the relationship between conversation orientation and disclosure, but only for those individuals whose families have a low level of conformity orientation.
期刊介绍:
Communication Reports (CR), published biannually since 1988, is one of two scholarly journals of the Western States Communication Association (WSCA). The journal publishes original manuscripts that are short, data/text-based, and related to the broadly defined field of human communication. The mission of the journal is to showcase exemplary scholarship without censorship based on topics, methods, or analytical tools. Articles that are purely speculative or theoretical, and not data analytic, are not appropriate for this journal. Authors are expected to devote a substantial portion of the manuscript to analyzing and reporting research data.
