Don’T I Know You? Self-Disclosure Increases As Nearness in Proximity Becomes Salient
We propose that increased salience of physical proximity activates concepts related to close interpersonal relationships and increases disclosure of sensitive information. This effect is driven by cues for physical distance which impact disclosure rates because cues for distance act as a conceptual metaphor that activate constructs related to interpersonal relationships.
