dc.description.abstractResearch, designed to identify the relationship between anxiety and self-disclosure, has produced conflicting results. Some researchers have reported negative relationships while others have indicated positive relationships between these two variables. These findings, although sometimes statistically significant, have generally been too small to be considered of practical relevance. To further confuse the anxiety-disclosure dilemma, psychologists have adopted opposing theoretical postures. Introversion-extroversion was introduced as a moderator variable in an effort to qualify the confusing body of theoretical and empirical knowledge in the field. It was believed that levels of anxiety and levels of self-disclosure would be found to relate significantly and in opposite directions, depending on whether the samples tested were introverts or extroverts. The Jowta1td Sel.6-fuc.la-6£0.e 1nventoJty, the !PAT Sei.n-Analy-6-l.6 Inven-toJttj, and the MinnMota. T-S-E Inven-tony were administered to a sampie of 130 students at the University of Calgary. Three hypotheses, dealing with relatively independent domains of introversion-extroversion were tested in order to determine the relationship between anxiety and self-disclosure for groups of people thus classified. Two statistically significant relationships in the hypothesized direction were found to exist. Social introverts demonstrated a positive relationship between anxiety and self-disclosure (r = .28; p (.OS), while emotional extroverts indicated a negative relationship between anxiety and self-disclosure (r = -.30; p <.OS). The implications of these findings for counseling practice and for future research were discussed.
