This study seeks to add to previous research regarding family secrets by exploring intrafamily and individual family secrets from a family communication pattern and parent–young adult child conflict style perspective. Results showed conversation orientation, conformity orientation, or conflict styles did not predict disclosure separately. However, the use of a collaborating conflict style did indirectly mediate the relationship between conversation orientation and disclosure, but only for those individuals whose families have a low level of conformity orientation.

家庭秘密：父母与成年子女之间的家庭沟通方式和冲突方式的作用

本研究旨在通过家庭沟通模式和父母与成年子女冲突形式的观点探索家庭内部和个人家庭秘密，以增加有关家庭秘密的先前研究。结果显示，对话取向，顺从取向或冲突方式不能单独预测披露。但是，协作冲突样式的使用确实间接调解了对话取向和公开之间的关系，但仅适用于其家庭的顺从取向水平较低的个人。
