Who developed the theory of reciprocity of self-disclosure?
Reis and Shaver
There is a need for reciprocity for a relationship to develop
Reis and Shaver suggest that, in addition to a broadening and deepening of self-disclosure, there must be reciprocity
Successful relationships will involve disclosure from one partner which is received sensitively by the other partner. In turn this should then lead to further self-disclosure from the other partner
