Use examples to explain your assessment. 2) What factors at various levels of the ecology in Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Model of Development contribute to the behavior that is perceived to occur frequently among teens? Provide examples to illustrate the factors that you identify; for these examples, draw upon the your fellow group members’ posts about their “risky and rebellious adolescent behaviors (or lack thereof) if you can; if you cannot (for example if your fellow group members who have posted before you have “used them up†so that ours would be repetitive, use examples from other adolescents that you have known. Really try to incorporate in your analysis concepts related to the Bioecological Model.

The objective of discussion is to help students to reflect on and understand major perspectives on development as well as important concepts and, in particular, to think about how they apply or do not seem to apply to their own development and that of people around them . (And in case you haven’t guessed this already, this course emphasizes the importance of Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Model as a model of influences on development across the life span!) 3) What, if anything, can adults do to curb risky and/or rebellious behavior by adolescents? Think about such questions as, a) Do teenagers need to have their freedoms limited so that they will be protected from the dangers of today? b) If freedoms must be limited, whose responsibility is it to limit them?

Does it “take a village†in the words of Hillary Clinton when she was first lady? Again, try to think about what adults at various “levels†of the ecology might do. c) How do issues of confidentiality, privacy, consent and autonomy apply to the behavior of adolescents? Again, use examples from your own experience and from your fellow group members’ posts You may comment to a fellow group member about the risky behavior or rebelliousness that he or she posted in the initial post (for example to ask the author to clarify something in the post or to express how similar the author’s experience was to yours--or how different), but don’t stop there ; the main task is for the group to synthesize multiple posts as well as material from textbook, lectures and video to address the questions above.

Be sure that the group has addressed all 3 questions by the end of Sunday, 3/14 ; if it has not, we will deduct points from all members (a larger deduction, of course, for members who have not posted at all). We suggest that you go back on Sunday to be sure that your group has addressed all 3 questions. There won’t be many posts for you to synthesize because discussion groups are small (on the other hand, the class is too large to carry out a single discussion among members of the entire class). So start with the posts of group members, but you may want to incorporate your observations of behaviors of other young people who are not in the class (friends, siblings, even characters in movies or TV shows); just be clear in your post that you are doing that— i.e. that you are not referring to behavior specifically described in the initial posts but to that of another adolescent whose behavior that you have actually observed (limit your comments to behaviors you have observed; do not describe a behavior that you have not observed as though you have observed it even though that behavior might qualify as what some people describe as “typical†adolescent behavior).

More than one student may address the same question as long as the group has addressed all of the questions by the end of the discussion (i.e. the 3 “main†questions and each of the “sub questions†a, b & c under Question #3). That means†that if previous posts have pretty much answered a question, your post should address a different question. You may give us your opinion, but also please be sure to bring in assigned material. As emphasized above, the purpose of these discussions is to foster your understanding, synthesis, and application of course concepts. Please do your best to “talk to†one another about how you interpret the “data†provided in class members’ posts (and perhaps your observations of friends, relatives and classmates who are not in the course).

Specifically, how might the concepts from the textbook, video and lectures apply to your observations? The point of discussion is to play off one another’s ideas with the goal of coming up with some new insights (remember Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory about how we all learn!) Let’s try posting a single, separate thread for each of the above questions. That means that the first group member to post his or her thoughts about each question should begin the thread for that question. Then everyone who addresses the same question can add to that thread. I think that will encourage the interchange that we’re looking for.

However, you may certainly start a new thread if you think of an additional question or issue of interest.

Understanding Self-Disclosure and Privacy Management

Introduction

Self-disclosure is the act of revealing information about oneself that others are unlikely to discover through other means. It can range from general details, such as one's favorite color, to deeply personal revelations, such as disclosing a mental health condition. This practice plays a crucial role in interpersonal communication and relationship-building. Effective self-disclosure can foster intimacy, deepen relationships, and create a sense of belonging, while poorly managed disclosures can lead to relationship strain or harm (Trenholm & Jensen, 2013). This paper explores the guidelines and principles surrounding self-disclosure, factors influencing disclosure decisions, privacy management, and the consequential dynamics associated with self-revelation.

Guidelines for Self-Disclosure

1. Contextual Appropriateness: It's vital that disclosures are appropriate to the topic at hand and fit the flow of the conversation. Disclosing matters too personal too early may overwhelm the recipient or make them uncomfortable.
2. Begin with Safe, Non-Risky Disclosures: One should start with low-stakes information before moving to sensitive details. Gradually increasing the level of disclosure helps both parties gauge comfort levels (Trenholm & Jensen, 2013).
3. Small Doses: Share information in small amounts. Micro-disclosures allow for a dialogue conducive to mutual sharing and create room for the other party to reciprocate (Derlega & Grzelak, 2012).
4. Match Disclosures: The level of one’s self-disclosure should ideally align with the other’s reciprocity. This matching creates a balance that makes both parties feel safe and valued.
5. Consider Style: The way information is communicated is as important as the content. Nonverbal signals, tone, and demeanor carry significant weight in how disclosures are interpreted.
6. Reserve Important Disclosures: Major or deeply personal disclosures should be saved for significant, ongoing relationships. These kinds of disclosures can either deepen bonds or lead to irreversible damage if met with rejection (Hendriks et al., 2020).

The Self-Disclosure Process

Effective self-disclosure requires careful consideration and planning. An ideal process often follows several steps:
1. Choose the Manner of Disclosure: Face-to-face interactions allow for a richer exchange of emotions and understanding. Consequently, disclosures are often more effective in such settings (Greene, 2009).
2. Select Timing and Setting: An appropriate time and place to reveal sensitive information can shape the recipient's response. For example, private settings provide a safer context for heavy disclosures.
3. Prepare for Possible Reactions: Anticipating the recipient’s reaction and remaining open to further discussion can facilitate a healthier dialogue. Many individuals may initially respond with shock; hence, providing them time and space to process is essential (Petronio, 2002).
4. Focus on Care Over Anger: Disclosures should be rooted in care for the recipient, not as weapons of anger or hurt. This focus can maintain a positive relationship dynamic (Derlega et al., 2002).

Privacy Management and Communication Privacy Management (CPM)

Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theory posits that individuals perceive ownership over their personal information and construct boundaries around it. According to Petronio’s (2002) assumptions, individuals navigate privacy and disclosure based on three core elements: the desire to share, the need for privacy, and the management of relational dynamics.
1. Ownership of Information: Individuals believe they have control over their personal information and how it is communicated. This ownership means that after sharing, the recipient becomes a co-owner, inducing a responsibility to respect previously established boundaries (Petronio, 2002).
2. Rule-Based Nature of Disclosure: Both explicit and implicit rules govern disclosures. Explicit rules include outright statements like “don't tell anyone,” while implicit rules can involve unspoken norms and expectations that develop naturally in relationships. Understanding these rules helps prevent boundary turbulence (Petronio & Venetis, 2010).
3. Dialectical Tension: There exists a dialectic between privacy and openness. Individuals often find themselves navigating their needs for intimacy against fears of vulnerability and rejection. This tension requires careful balance and self-awareness in communication practices (Petronio, 2002).
Further, individuals tailor their privacy rules based on various factors, including cultural background, personality traits, and the nature of relationships, which influence how and when private information is shared (Greene, 2009).

Responding to Self-Disclosure

When someone discloses personal information, the listener’s response significantly impacts relationship dynamics. Key guidelines include:
1. Acknowledgment and Gratitude: Thanking the person for their trust and assuring them that the relationship will remain unchanged fosters a supportive environment.
2. Addressing Discomfort: If the listener feels uncomfortable, open communication about feelings is essential. This direct approach ensures the discloser knows their recipient is processing the information thoughtfully (Trenholm & Jensen, 2013).
3. Take Responsibility for Feelings: Listeners must differentiate their reactions from the discloser's statements, which acknowledges their emotional processing as separate yet valid (Derlega et al., 2002).

Potential Challenges and Responses

Despite the importance of self-disclosure, challenges can arise, such as boundary violations and privacy dilemmas. Boundary turbulence occurs when information is shared in an unintended manner, jeopardizing the trust between individuals. Factors leading to turbulence include:
1. Intentional Boundary Violations: When a confidant willingly shares the information with others without permission, trust can dissolve.
2. Fuzzy Boundaries: Different perceptions of what constitutes private information can create misunderstandings, particularly in multicultural environments (Petronio, 2002).
3. Disparate Boundary Orientations: Individuals may hold varying beliefs about whether certain information is private, leading to conflicts in expectations.
Responses to such challenges involve structured communication strategies, where individuals can restore boundaries, clarify expectations, and renegotiate privacy accommodations moving forward (Greene, 2009).

Conclusion

Self-disclosure is a multifaceted communication act integral to developing interpersonal relationships. Successfully navigating this process involves understanding guidelines for disclosure, managing privacy effectively, and addressing the emotional needs of both parties involved. As individuals increasingly grapple with societal shifts in privacy norms, the necessity for conscious communication remains paramount.
