Description

Recently, a growing number of people are opening their diaries to the public, by using weblogs and other methods. The authors investigated self-disclosure and its significance, based on whether diary writers publicized their online diaries. In Study I, we examined the modality of disclosing the self in diaries and its relationship with self-consciousness. A questionnaire survey was conducted with university student participants(N=255), which indicated that approximately 60% of participants have kept some sort of a diary. Results indicated that those with diaries that were either public,or closed, had a high private selfconsciousness, the degree to turn attention to the inside of the self. It was also suggested that the content of disclosures differed according to whether the diary was publicized, or not. In Study 2, we asked university students(N=20) to keep a "private"diary for three weeks and examined the meaning of keeping the diary. In the process of keeping the diary, participants showed resistance towards disclosing the self in their diaries. Moreover,keeping the diary increased their introspection.
