Annotation

This study uses a social penetration approach to explore how individualism-collectivism and relational intimacy affect self-disclosure topics and dimensions in intercultural/interracial friendships. Results reveal a greater impact of relational intimacy (than of cultural variability) on close intercultural/interracial friendships.
