"I Never Expected This": Expectancy Violations And Stress In Millennials, Sarah Pogue
Honors Theses

In order to communicate and make sense of this stress, most millennials find themselves discussing these stressful events with their close friends.

Understanding Unconventional Methods Of Self-Disclosure In New Relationships, Brandon Lepard
Honors Theses
Previous literature on the subject of self-disclosure in new relationships has failed to go into depth about the reasons why negatively-valenced self-disclosure can draw people closer together. In this study, the impact of personality type on the relational success of unconventional methods of self-disclosure is explored. The participants of the study were eight male, caucasian college-aged students who were each individually interviewed. The results of the study show that that personality type can play a large role in the relational success of such unconventional disclosure techniques, as well as the relational trajectory. Extraverts were more likely to positively react to …
