Abstract

It was assumed that, self-disclosure of the stressful life event would affect positively subject well-being, health perception, and physical health, and that the rumination and avoidance about the stressful life event and the experience of negative emotion would affect negatively criteria variables. Based upon the above assumption, two hypotheses were derived and examined through a survey research in this study: (1) The effects of self-disclosure, the rumination and avoidance, and emotion experiences on subject well-being, health perception, and physical health would be significant respectively, after controlling the effect of the other factor. (2) The interaction effect of these three factors would be significant. The participants of this research were 392 college students from two regional areas in Korea. Subjective well-being, health perception, physical symptoms, and physical illness were also measured as criteria variables. The results of this research supported the hypothesis (1) and (2). Furthermore, the effects of self-disclosure on the criteria variables was different according to the emotional experiences. When the individual experienced depression or anger in ordinary times, self-disclosure of the stressful life event would affect positively health perception and physical symptoms. On the other hand, when the individual experienced anxiety in ordinary times, self-disclosure of the stressful life event would affect negatively physical symptoms. This findings imply that the positive effect of self-disclosure is not consistent to the general situation. Finally, the limitations of this study and the suggestions for future studies were discussed.
