在两个月的时间里，这项调查跟踪了342名保守秘密的人，重点是预测因素和启示的结果。反刍，身份相关的问题，自尊感兴趣的变量。研究开始时的沉思与自尊呈负相关，与身份相关的担忧呈正相关。尽管反刍和身份因素之间存在积极的联系，但它们在决定透露秘密时的影响是相互冲突的。最后，秘密的启示似乎减少反刍和增加自尊，但只有在一定程度上，目标的反应是积极的和启示减少自我相关的秘密，分别。一幅复杂的画面浮现出秘密隐藏和揭露的过程。
During a 2-month period this investigation followed 342 individuals who were keeping a secret, focusing on predictors and outcomes of revelation. Rumination, identity-related concerns, and self-esteem were the variables of interest. Rumination at the beginning of the study was associated negatively with self-esteem and was positively correlated with identity-related concerns. Despite their positive association with one another, rumination and the identity factors clashed in their impact on the decision to reveal the secret. Finally, the revelation of secrets seems to decrease rumination and increase self-esteem, but only to the extent that the target's reaction was positive and the revelation decreased the self-relevance of the secret for the discloser, respectively. A complex picture emerges of the process of secret concealment and revelation.
