Self-disclosure

Wrenn & Mencke '1975) define self-disclosure as;

.... . allcwins; others to kno ' one fully byopening up and revealing one's thought?, andinnermost feelings. Universally self-disclosure is alive, growing relationships areof necessity characterised by opening up,revealing, and disclosing the self. The depthof disclosure rr,ay vary from person to person-Sometimes it involves sharing our deepestemotion's sr,d feelings, A.t other tiroes it issimply letting ourselves show through in th?joyous pomerrts of mutually shared projects orexperience. Exit it is axiomatic that to be'deeply known' or 'deeply understood' one mustsomehow all aw oneself to become "transparent toothers,

How is this -so-called "self-disclosure" applied her-& in Chuuk9

Self-disclosure is a very bread and ccnnp lies-ted term. Th«r<?f ore,

our group tried to -\arrov it dovm and concentrate more txn. specific

parts of it, which will be the goal we expect to reach or in other

words, our hypothesis. Our main goal here is to see whether the

Chu.ukese are less or 'nore self-disclosing.

Expressing one1^ feelings is not something easy and common in

Chunk, The people of Chxuik have different ways of expressing

themselves. One example of how Chuukese portray their feelings is

through compositions of songs, especially love songs. In any vay,

it is very hard for the Chuukese to express themselves.

Self-disclosure

However, there are certain places where they gather in groups and

talk, For example, in the old days and also ~n some islands

today, the Chuukese women gather at the river side to wash and

share stories. They talk about family problems, sex, problems with

themselves, and the most common is gossiping. The men, on the

other bond, gather at meeting houses, coffee shops, and exchange

stories- Other opportunities -where the Chuukese normally express

or share their feelings are during clan meetings or special

religious gathering.

These meetings are usually held before Christmas and New Year

Day, or during the last day of a family funeral. For the young,

group counseling and sharing -are other means of opening up of one's

self to other people, In this paper, we are hoping to understand

how Chxuikese express themselves besides revealing how they think

and feel out in the open, In addition, we are trying to know how

self-disclosure applies to the Ghuukese people.

In Chunk, self-disclosure is a different story. The

historical known fact in Chuuk is that normally people do not

disclose themselves because the cxilture does not really encourage

the younj ones to freely have direct confrontation with an older

individual. However, this particular aspect of the cxilture seeme to

be chatvgirv? in recent years..

As an attempt to understand the complex world of and the

decree to which the Chuukese express their feelings or innermost,

Self-disclosure

our group set out. to interview the Chuxikese people at different

sites. Whil-3 it is complex to fully understand why the Chunkese

would or would not express their feelings, we hope tc at least, pose

some possible explanations.

Within ?. family's community, we are concentrating more on how

the family members communicate with one another. How open they are

with <?p.ch other, how they so about in expressing themselves and

v?h0t thf?"-7 consid'?r iwiT'ort Qjit ,

Moreover, with people who h.?ve .jobs, we want- to know how they

cowe irito coHinninicat ion vith their co-vccrkers, their bosses, and

bo'v they go about in solving the problems that they encounter. As

for those who are unemployed, ve want to know how they live their

live1? without having r-- job. ho^ the*" solve their personal problems,

and vho they seek h«?lr> and advice from. In addition, since religion

plays a very important role in Chuukese society, we were interested

to find out hov open people are vith their religious leaders.

subjects' ages range from fifteen to sixty-five1 and their levels cf

were asked to fill out the survey sheets or sites that v&re

randomly picked . However, during the intervie-w process **•'<? chose to

interview only those who had some ideas relevant to oar topic,

Materials:

The surveys were administered at five different high schools,

the* hospital. ""o'r'?'rrir"snt offices, at th*? post office, 'people's

home?, and or; the streets, Two types of survey sheets were used in

our survey, These survey sheets were written in English and

"huukese, but the answers were written and translated into English.

The first one was a "true" and "false" survey. The participants or

subjects vere giv^n several questions tc ans^^r based on how they

normally or would express their feelings in certain situations.

DISCUSSION

The effect of education ir: self-disclosure

Education se?ms tc have an effect or; 70 me people*. Education has

made some people of Chunk more open* Per example, when asked if

they would speak up when, they knew they were right, <ever\ty-six

percent (76%) of the males and nineteen percent f!9%) of the

females said they -• .••::•,.; Id. On the ether hand only twenty-four

percent of the males and eighty-one percent of the females said

tt^y would net. 0-•"-•:: M , ^in--:-t ;.--nin<? percent of the females and

ninety-fear percent of the males that are educated say that when

or. i? is educated, one i.'-; lil:el" ;. . 3 become more open. For example,

when one is educated: on? learrs to be asserti\e. Therefore, when

Self-disclosure

S^lf-diselesure also depends on the individual. The

individual"'-; actions '-.r.d v/ords t/ovtrav one'? personality. If a

person is '?hy. then he or she is most likely to be less ?.".lf-

disclosing:. On the other hsnrt, if the person is outgo'r-.g, then he

or she will be mere self-disclosing,

The environment in which one Ijv^s also ccn.t ribute---. to the way

a:; individual reveals his or her innermost feelings. From vhat is

kri'-'-'t:, "ri';n;-- people do ;int want to disclose themselves because they

feel that if they share '-.heir reelings and thoughts to others,

other- might !auc?h and make fur of them. Sometimes ^hen they- share

their feelings to other people, they often feel betrayed, As a

result, many do not --?rt to shar-v- their feeliii^s. This x^ay, then,

they learn to be more self-conscious of what ethers might say about

them; thus, makes rcanv to keep tjhinc;?, to themselves.

Self-disclosure within the families

Based on the results of both surveys s.od interview?, it was

interesting to note the different v-ays the Cbuukese people disclose

their feelings to other people. 'e also foisnd out thbt. !:h^re were

.more fen-ales who claimed to have no problems in expressing their

fi'-liri'/s toward others. The T\::;les en the •;-•?:her- hi^id sft-?^; not to

five percent (75%) of the males we surveyed said that they would

participants were ask--d "why do they let their childrer communicate

more open in sharing what is bothering them and to bo able tc tell

then what their problems are. fR'?fer tc '.he charts at the baok. )

Many parents wart t? change what they feel was not done right

by their :>'.n. parents. Having seen their own children growing up,

they sometimes feel it is appropriate to change some espect? of the

cultural practices ><rhirh they tV ink 1 -; not right. ^cr example?

when they were young, they were not encouraged to voice their

opinions and hc^ they felt. Therefore, if the;- feel this w?.;r, they

now know hew their own children feel and should be more

understanding.

Self—disclosure in priesthood/clergy

People go to reveal their- innermost feelings toward the

clergy. B?ssc' on th?? inter"! ?w --tuestions, :n?;jor it- of the people

go to see the clergy members because they t.rust then for they

•represent God ^tth in the ccmnv-nity. In addition, thr-y fed more

<-.cnifortable, relaxed, and secure beca-.j:-.e Ihey feel that the priests

car. not ^o and tell other poopl-? about their problems. \r.other

reason why a priest plays an important role in a Chx;ukese person's

life is because priests tend to i.ake one'::, problems more seriously.

Self-disclosure

The way in which priest expresses his feelings is different from

the Kay an ?r er&gf Chuukese person ^culd express himself or

herself. Priests, most of the time express their feelings or

problems to and with other people. The purpose for sharing the

problems is to encourage other people to communicate ur share their

feelings with them.

Some people, on the other hand, would not gc and ?oe s priest.

One reason is that they might be related to each other, and the

person does not see% to be comfortable Lalk:.;ig about hi; cr her

problems to a relative, Anuther reason is that other people are

embarrassed tc t^il the priest: his or her prcblams. They feel that

the priest sight viev them differently. Fcr instance, one thinks

that If h? or she tells a priest his or her problems, the priest

?2ih?ht think of him or her as ? bad person*

Self-disclosure within employment:

Even in the business world today, the term self-expression or

s^lf-diyclosur? is also evident. Here in Micronesia, particularly

in Chunk, tb? people ho hav? average jobs tend to lower themselves

than the ones who held higher jobs. Such lowering of one's self

can be shown through one's action toward another person. For

iashonce-, if a;j cwaer of ?; abore find? ont that "comething has been

stolen or misplaced fr^m the PTcre, h? might scold his employee for

no^ ^oin^ his job in Ivckiag up the pl.ace. Ev%?:i tbcugh the

employee was not responsible for the break-in or how much he likes

his job, he w-:uld not ?peak up because he is zfrai^ of ^peakin? up

against someone of a higher position, Therefore, thi? can lead the

&F.pl.oyee n t t\> disclose any .vf hi?/ feelings at y-11.

On the ether hand, let us f.sks » closer luok at people who

h^ld high positions end ^hose "ho work in government offices. Many

government employees claim that they can express themselves towards

someone of a higher rank if they h?d &ny ha.vd feelings or

disagreement. However, not all :"ar do that. Only a few out of the

many can do it.

However, for those who hold high positions such as deputy

directors, managers, and so on, they disclose themselves with more

eass. They oaa freely speak, criticize, .;:nd scold one another

because perhaps they have thf sare levels of employment or they are

close friends. In addition, they can easily talk to th? co-work?rs

because they feel that they hf;v? the authority to do so.

Judging fr?M the answ&rs that we received, ve art- likely to

say that most Chuukese seem tc be less self-disclosing* For

?x?j?plo; vhen they wera asksc! ab"'.it hot" they "oul:! re^ui to someone

they express their hard feelings their buss would expel them.

Self-disclosure among students:

Students also have different ways of ;-xv>rec3ing their

feelings. The most striking thing ve discover is that the students

would .go to their classmates or friends wheri they ha'-e problems,

instead of talking to their parents. The students believe that

th.-;-y canrut shf.re secrets or person-il prnblen? r- ith their

relatives, They feel uncomfortable and uncertair: if their

rela ti'/'ra will ke^p their serre;: or they would rsveel them cut in

the open that is why they rather confide ir a non-relative.

Ve .--'.Isu encounter that sr-%$ students like to share their

problems with someone of his ox her age. They believe that sharing

secrets with cr;e of their same a^e is the best because Mtat person

can relate better to their problem, If they share their personal

problems with th^i. pa vent-.3: their parents mi^ht respond

differently,

However, aany sLudents Vvo.nt to k>?-..-p their- ^roblea-i to

themselves because they believe they are responsible for their own

problems. Others feel that no body would want to b»- bothered with

their problems. Thes? people think that nobody cares abo-.it their

problems.

Conclusion:

To osy that ?.!! "hi!,;.kese -.:a-e "Self-disclosing" in the way

that Wrenn and Men eye- defined the terra is inappropriate. One

reason is b&ca-..z?- .^a-v CVar-.ikest- tend to Tveep persons;.], issues to

themselves, They mention them only to a selected number of

ir.'!r-iduais, In wddiMon, we -31 so found * f-^w teensgers who art-

self-disclosing. These teenagers are mostly stxidents, some times a

ver.. few adults, who -\ave gorxe abroad, for education.

With what is mentioned above, we have evidence tc believe that
