“…personal information, shared intentionally,
that another person would have trouble finding
out without being told” (p. 155).
“I decided to wear pink today”
“I decided to wear pink today in support of my loved
ones who have battled breast cancer”
Verbal behaviors (intentional)
“I really have a crush on Will but no one knows
because I’m afraid he won’t like me back”

have a crush on him!”
Must

Theory
Tension – privacy vs. disclosure
Four ways to address this tension
Cyclic alternation (disclose or keep private at
different times)
Segmentation (certain topics for separate settings)
Selection (choose one side; ignore the other)
Integration (neutralizing—happy medium,
disqualifying—taboo topics, reframing)
