Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of self-disclosure on emotion according to the level of rumination. The hypothesis of this study was as follows: the effect of self-disclosure on emotion would be significant in the condition that the level of rumination is low, whereas not significant in the condition that the level of that is high. To test the hypotheses, a 2×2 ANOVA with rumination(frequency 1/3) and self-disclosure(frequency 1/3) as between-participants factors was performed on positive and negative emotion. Fifty three undergraduates were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions. The main hypothesis was supported. The results were as follows. The interaction between factors was significant and showed that, in the lower condition of rumination, negative emotion was lower in the higher condition of self-disclosure than in the lower condition of that. In the higher condition of rumination, however, negative emotion was not difference between in the lower and higher condition of that. These results suggest that the effect of self-disclosure on emotion is moderated by the level of rumination, indicating that self-disclosure affect positively emotion, only when the level of rumination is low. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study and suggestion for future research were also discussed.
