Self-disclosure is one of the determinants of interpersonal attraction. The purpose of this paper is to propose a "disclosure-attraction model" which explains the way self-disclosure has effects on the attractiveness of the discloser. The predictions suggested from the model are as follows. (1) If the evaluator attributes the cause of disclosure to the positive intents and/or dispositions of discloser, attraction for the discloser will increase. On the other hand, if he or she attributes it to the negative ones, attraction for the discloser will decrease. (2) The evaluator examines the appropriateness in self-disclosure in terms of social norms and role expectations. Thus, when he or she judges it inappropriate, negative dispositional attributions will produce, resulting in the decrease in attraction. (3) Evaluator's personality variables (e.g., interpersonal orientation, self-monitoring) will make biases on effects of disclosure mentioned above. These predictions were supported clearly by the findings of empirical studies.
