之前关于保密的研究已经研究了保守自己的秘密的影响，但人们也会保守别人的秘密。目前的工作提出了第一次检查的经验，keepingothers'secrets。三项研究（一项是相关研究，两项是实验研究）显示，600多名参与者持有超过10，000个秘密，被信任会带来关系上的好处，但也是一种负担。一个人越接近倾诉者，他的思想就越倾向于秘密，预示着亲密感的增加，但也是负担。一个秘密与自己的社交网络重叠越多，一个人就越会代表另一个人隐藏这个秘密，这预示着负担感会增加。实验性地改变秘密的心理可及框架（专注于亲密或重叠）会影响人们对被信任的归因，就像改变人们推断为什么他们的思想会漫游到另一个秘密的意义一样（即，走神是重游还是解决问题）。被信任既可以是一种负担，也可以是一种助推器--这两种途径同时运作，彼此独立。
Prior research on secrecy has examined the effects of keeping one's own secrets, but people keep others' secrets too. The present work presents the first examination of the experience of keepingothers'secrets. Three studies (one correlational, two experimental) with more than 600 participants holding more than 10,000 secrets demonstrate that being confided in brings relational benefits, but is also a burden. The closer one is to the confider, the more one's mind wanders toward the secret, predicting increased feelings of intimacy, but also burden. The more a secret has overlap with one's own social network, the more one conceals the secret on the other's behalf, predicting increased feelings of burden. Experimentally shifting the mentally accessible framing of the secret (to focus on closeness or overlap) influences attributions made about being confided in, as does shifting the meaning people infer for why their mind wanders toward the other's secret (i.e., mind-wandering as revisiting or as problem-solving). Being confided in can be both a burden and a boost—pathways that operate simultaneously and independently from each other.
