| dc.description.abstract | The study examined the sex differences in seeking social support and self-disclosure,
the relationship between social support and self-disclosure, and the interaction effect
between sex and social support on self-disclosure. Questionnaires were administered
to 128 people. Data was analyzed using the t-test, Spearman’s correlation coefficient
and Analysis of Variance. Results established that there was no significant difference
between females and males in seeking social support (p = .192) or in self-disclosure
(p = .30); there was a significant positive relationship between social support and self disclosure
(rs =.307; p = .002) and there was no interaction effect between sex, social
support and self-disclosure ( p = .88). The study recommended that social support
services for people living with HIV and AIDS should integrate mechanisms that
enhance self-disclosure. | en_US |
