Essay

Over the last month, Jin-Tae has made a few efforts to get to know Mark, a new employee at the organization. Jin-Tae has tried to learn personal details from Mark-where he lives, his hobbies, and more-along with how he feels about situations that happen on a daily basis in the office. Jin-Tae has readily shared such details with Mark, but he has found that Mark is disinclined to talk, hurries out of the room, and does not share personal details or feelings in the few curt responses he provides. Explain the role of self-disclosure in this situation and its effect on communication and relationships.
