Key papers
Dindia, K. (1988). A comparison of several statistical tests of reciprocity of self-disclosure. Communication Research, 15(6), 726-752. What it reports: Several statistical tests of reciprocity were compared across 30 conversations between strangers. One person's disclosure did not raise the probability of the partner's next disclosure, and the evidence for turn-by-turn reciprocity was small.
Key ideas
Disclosure Reciprocity: the back-and-forth matching of personal disclosure between two people, which builds closeness faster than one-sided talk
