When jon and ernesto met in their english class, they were both hesitant to share much about their personal lives. as the semester progresses and they became better friends, they felt comfortable sharing more and more with each other. which element of self-disclosure is reflected in their relationship?

Respuesta :

The self-disclosure that Jon and Ernesto are experiencing is successful because of the element of reciprocity.

Reciprocity is the positive response of the person who is receiving the information and in turns motivates them to disclose information as well.

As one tells the other one about their personal lives, they both feel motivated to share more information. This leads them to deepen their intimacy.
