Short-and long-term relationships long-term: members of our immediate families, relatives, intimates, friends transitory: exchange of smiles and glance in hallway, pleasantries. Short term: low investment, little history, identities negotiable. Casual and intimate relationships long term: high investment, lengthy history, identities fixed. Disclosure: specifics of exchange can be impersonal and ritualized in sense that either person could make same remarks to anyone. Self-disclosure: person disclosing information about his or her opinions or beliefs at other than a surface level, no personal feeling expressed. Disclosure increases with increased intimacy, when rewarded, with the need to reduce uncertainty in a relationship. Women disclose more to individuals they like/men to those they trust. Attraction is related to positive disclosure but not to negative disclosure.
