披露一个可隐藏的污名化身份可能是那些生活在“可耻”特征中的个人面临的最困难的障碍之一。尽管以前的研究表明，先前的目标或个人向他人披露其耻辱的原因对披露事件及其后续结果具有根本性影响，但这些工作的大部分集中在披露人的角度，很少关注知己的角度。目前的实验使用了演员-伴侣相互依赖模型来检验这一假设，即对于两个二元组成员来说，更显著的同情心目标，而不是自我形象关注的目标，将与更积极的披露经历相关，这反映在他们关于改善情感、更密切的人际关系、减少预期污名、增强社会支持和增加信任的自我报告中。结果表明，尽管在披露过程中专注于同情的目标可以培养人际关系密切和感知到的信任，但优先考虑一个人的知己需求和自己的需求有时可能会产生具有讽刺意味的负面影响，包括减少积极的影响。总体而言，调查结果突显了继续需要检查人际关系披露背景下的相互影响过程，以更好地了解何时、为什么以及对谁来说，揭露可隐藏的污名将带来好处，而不是伤害。
Disclosure of a concealable stigmatized identity is perhaps one of the most difficult obstacles facing individuals who live with “discreditable” attributes. Although previous research suggests that antecedent goals, or the reasons why individuals disclose their stigma to others, have a fundamental influence on disclosure events and their subsequent outcomes, much of this work has focused on the perspective of the discloser, with little attention paid to the perspective of the confidant. The current experiment used the Actor‐Partner Interdependence Model to test the hypothesis that more salient compassionate, as opposed to self‐image‐focused, goals would be associated with more positive disclosure experiences, for both dyad members, as reflected in their self‐reports of improved affect, greater interpersonal closeness, reduced anticipated stigma, bolstered social support, and increased trust. Results indicated that, although focusing on compassionate goals during disclosure can foster feelings of interpersonal closeness and perceived trust, prioritizing the needs of one's confidant in conjunction with one's own needs may, at times, have ironic negative effects, including diminished positive affect. Overall, findings highlight the continued need to examine reciprocal influence processes in interpersonal disclosure contexts to better understand when, why, and for whom revealing a concealable stigma will yield benefit, rather than harm.
