self-disclosure

We always open self-mind in our life. It is called “self-disclosure”. It means that you say your personal information and your feelings honestly. In other wards you show real yourself without false hood. This action usually is conducted naturally.
Between Japanese and Americans have difficult patterns. A lot of Japanese don’t like self-disclosure voluntarily. Because people think that it doesn’t have to need open mind by myself. Also, we don’t want to show our weak point, and real-self. Japanese is modest than Americans. A lot of Japanese tend to worry about existence of other people and other people say. Therefore people take time until trust others. For example, a case like this is given. Many women worry about makeup and clothes when we meet other people. We try to make a good ourselves image. Japanese people try to make trust with others. After that finally people carry out self-disclosure.
But Americans is differently from Japanese. Americans willingly show self-information. They don’t afraid of others. Because almost all Americans think “Myself is myself.” ”Others are others.” How to think by Americans is people make trust, doing self-disclosure. They are strong in self-assertion. And in SNS, like mixi or facebook, Japanese puts an important point in following privacy and has uneasiness towards a real name exhibition by all means. Therefore people use some different name. But Americans usually use real name.
Why do people scare self-disclosure? People are afraid of rejection by significant others. According to a search by Bamlund D.C, we have “private-self” and “public-self”. Compared with Japanese and Americans, Japanese are secretive principle, contrasted with Americans are not very secretive, they are more public. For example, if Japanese introduce by themselves, Japanese will tell other people to living place, school name, hobby and working place. While Americans will introduce themselves, they say name at first. After that, they will say “What is your dream?” ”What is your hobby?” ”What are your interest?” and talk about private things. Like this, Japanese don’t mention private things willingly, and people say some information anyone already know. But Americans say hardly like Japanese. In short Americans had everyone know about us. But, if we try to make strong human relationship each other, we have to do self-disclosure.
