Abstract
It was hypothesized that the degree to which an individual reveals his thoughts to others is related to mental health. It was suggested that normal s would differ from abnormals in amount of self-disclosure, and that a curvilinear relationship existed. The Minnesota multiphasic Personality Inventory was used to select normal and abnormal groups from a population of introductory psychology students. The sexes were analyzed separately. The Jourard Self-Disclosure Questionnaire was then given to the selected groups. The analysis of the self-disclosure scores failed to support the hypotheses. Differential disclosure with regards to aspects -of-self and target persons was observed and supported Jourard's earlier findings.
