Abstract
In an attempt to predict self-disclosure behavior in small groups from a previously administered Self-disclosure Inventory, 68 participants were rated at the end of 20 group sessions on a 9-point scale of self-disclosure (reliability = .69). Inventory score did not predict rated behavior (r = .13, p < .05). Additional attempts at validation of the inventory are described.
