As adolescents navigate the gradual transition from parental reliance to individual autonomy, they increasingly turn to their peers as trusted confidants. Although self\u2010disclosure has been associated with positive psychological outcomes among adolescents, research remains limited, inconsistent, and outdated, particularly in the Majority World.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study examined the direct relations between self\u2010disclosure and psychological well\u2010being among 192 Chinese adolescents and explored the indirect associations via self\u2010perception.

Adolescents disclosed the most on school\u2010related topics and the least about boy\u2013girl relationships, with girls perceiving certain topics as more intimate than boys. Consistent with existing literature, self\u2010disclosure was positively associated with overall psychological well\u2010being (particularly the subfactors of self\u2010acceptance, positive relationships, and personal growth). The indirect relation between self\u2010disclosure and psychological well\u2010being via perceived social competence was significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings underscore the important role of self\u2010disclosure in supporting to foster adolescents' mental well\u2010being and reveal enhanced social competence as one potential pathway linking the two. Overall, the study confirms the links between self\u2010disclosure and youth well\u2010being and adds to our understanding of disclosure behaviors among Chinese adolescents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jad.70124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,9]],"date-time":"2026-02-09T12:50:47Z","timestamp":1770641447000},"page":"1409-1414","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Self\u2010Disclosure and Psychological Well\u2010Being in Chinese Adolescents: Exploring the Role of Self\u2010Perception"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Antonia Yuxin","family":"Hua","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Arts and Sciences NYU Shanghai Shanghai China"},{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Illinois Urbana Champaign Champaign Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5706-9525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lixian","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Arts and Sciences NYU Shanghai Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","volume-title":"Social penetration: The development of interpersonal relationships","author":"Altman I.","year":"1973"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-08-044894-7.00609-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0265407508090866"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Berndt T.
