The Effect of Self-Disclosure through Stress Inoculating Writing on Traumatic Experience

Abstract

This study aimed to examine whether disclosing trauma through writing is better than inhibiting it in psychological health. In study 1, the effect of self-disclosure was examined by survey and the result showed that college students who disclosed more traumas reported higher subjective well-being and marginally higher self-esteem than who disclosed nothing. In study 2, the effect of self-disclosure was examined by experiments through writing. The result showed that writing about traumas through a stress inoculation training task(SIT task) produced better psychological effect than writing through a catharsis task. Especially, the SIT task reduced negative affect more quickly than catharsis task without lowering self-concept. In the follow up study, the SIT task showed long-term psychological effect of self-disclosure.
