Abstract
The present study aimed at investigating the gender differences in
emotional self-disclosure. The sample consisted of 300 university
students (with gender equivalence) age ranged from 20-35 years.
Emotional Self-disclosure Scale (Snell, 1990) was used to
measure the degree of self-disclosure in adults. Results showed
significant gender differences in emotional self-disclosure,
women disclosed their emotions more to their friends as
compared to men. Results subjected to male and female recipients
suggested that women disclose their emotional feelings more to
their female friends, and men do towards their male friends. The
study further found that there are differential tendencies among
male and female students in disclosing their different types of
emotions to male and female recipients.
