Disclosure Disconnects: Antecedents and Consequences of Disclosing Invisible Stigmas across Life Domains
研究人们在工作和非工作领域披露隐形污名身份的过程,分析个体和环境因素如何影响披露决策,以及跨领域披露不一致(披露脱节)带来的心理状态和结果。
This article broadens our perspective of stigma by examining the process of disclosing an invisible stigmatized identity in work and nonwork domains. I present a model that examines the effects of individual and environmental factors on disclosure decisions across life domains. Individuals may disclose their stigma to varying degrees across life domains, and this inconsistency leads to disclosure disconnects. I examine psychological states and outcomes associated with disclosure disconnects and offer directions for future research.
