Sex and age/grade differences in adolescents' self-disclosure.
Few significant differences in self-disclosure were noted for 202 adolescents in Grades 8 and 12. Reliability and validity were reasonable but varied over 6 categories of disclosure. Both boys and girls disclosed more to target females and less to fathers. Findings agree with prior literature.
