• Reasons for, and consequences of, revealing personal secrets in close relationships: A longitudinal study (2005, background): “For example, some pressing circumstances may lead individuals to reveal secrets that they otherwise had no plans to disclose ( Vangelisti, Caughlin, & Timmerman, 2001 ), perhaps even leading to disclosures despite the expectation of an untrustworthy recipient.”
• The Revelation Risk Model (RRM): Factors that Predict the Revelation of Secrets and the Strategies Used to Reveal Them (2009, methodology): “These conditions are what Vangelisti et al. (2001) call criteria for revealing secrets.”
• The Chilling Effect in Families and the Pressure to Conceal Secrets (2005, background): “In addition to the valence of the secret, the intimacy of the secret and the degree to which it is identity threatening also make the suppression of it increasingly important (Vangelisti & Caughlin, 1997; Vangelisti et al., 2001).”
