Abstract: Eighty female college students were given the 16-PF and the Jourard 40-item Self-Disclosure Questionnaire in an attempt to find a relationship between the scores on the Q,v-scale (Independence-subduedness) and level of self-disclosure. The hypothesis proposed that there would be a statistically significant relationship between the two. Earlier findings were significant with dependence of a situational type, and level of self-disclosure. This study also used dependency but as a personality factor and compared it with level of self-disclosure. No statistically significant relationship was found using analysis of variance as the test statistic. Another scale on the 16-PF, was found to be related with level of self-disclosure. Analysis of variance revealed a significant difference between Scale E (humbleness - assertiveness) and level of self-disclosure. Further statistical analysis suggested a relationship, namely, that a more assertive person was more likely to be self-disclosing.
