Abstract

Keeping a secret is often considered burdensome, with numerous consequences for well-being. However, there is no standardized measure of secrecy burden, and most studies focus on individual/cognitive burden without considering social/relational aspects. This research aimed to develop and validate a secrecy burden measure tapping both intrapersonal and interpersonal components. Study 1 used exploratory factor analysis to reveal a four-factor model of secrecy burden: Daily Personal Impact, Relationship Impact, Pull to Reveal, and Anticipated Consequences. Study 2 used confirmatory factor analysis to replicate this factor structure and found that each factor was uniquely associated with different emotional and well-being outcomes. Study 3 employed a longitudinal design and found that higher scores on each factor predicted lower authenticity and higher depression and anxiety 2 to 3 weeks later. Altogether, this research is the first step in standardizing a secrecy burden measure and applying it to real-world secrets and well-being outcomes.

你的负担有多重?保密负担量表的开发与验证。
保守秘密通常被认为是一种负担,会对幸福感造成诸多影响。然而,目前还没有保密负担的标准化测量方法,而且大多数研究只关注个人/认知负担,而没有考虑社会/关系方面。本研究旨在开发并验证一种保密负担测量方法,其中包含个人和人际两方面的内容。研究 1 采用探索性因子分析揭示了保密负担的四因子模型:日常个人影响、人际关系影响、揭露动机和预期后果。研究 2 采用确认性因子分析复制了这一因子结构,并发现每个因子都与不同的情感和幸福结果有着独特的关联。研究 3 采用了纵向设计,发现每个因子得分越高,预示着 2 到 3 周后真实性越低,抑郁和焦虑程度越高。总之,这项研究是标准化秘密负担测量方法并将其应用于真实世界的秘密和幸福结果的第一步。
