Question 1

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

The most important benefits of self-disclosure are building trust and intimacy in the relationship, feeling understood and supported, and gaining insight and perspective from the other person. When you self-disclose, you are allowing yourself to be vulnerable and authentic, which can lead to deeper connections and a sense of closeness with the other person.

Personal characteristics that may lead someone to talk openly to someone else include being comfortable with vulnerability, having a strong sense of trust in the other person, and feeling a need for emotional connection and support. Additionally, being open-minded, empathetic, and non-judgmental can also make someone more likely to engage in self-disclosure. Ultimately, the willingness to be open and honest with others often comes from a combination of self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and a desire for genuine connection with others.
