ABSTRACT Through an application of Communication Privacy Management Theory, this study examines students’ perceptions of risk and the criteria that influence student decisions to conceal or disclose mental health conditions to their college instructors. Participants included 228 college students who self-identified as struggling with depression or another mental health condition. The findings of the study indicate that the contextual criteria important reason is a significant predictor of student intention to disclose a mental health issue to instructors. In addition, students who had previously reported a mental health condition to an instructor perceived disclosure to be a higher risk than those who had never previously shared their mental health condition with an instructor. Implications of student disclosures of mental health conditions in the classroom and the impact of concealment or disclosure on student-instructor relationships are also discussed.

大学生在课堂上隐瞒和披露心理健康问题：学生对风险的认知和情境标准的使用

摘要 通过应用通信隐私管理理论，本研究调查了学生对风险的看法以及影响学生决定向大学教师隐瞒或透露心理健康状况的标准。参与者包括 228 名自称患有抑郁症或其他心理健康状况的大学生。研究结果表明，上下文标准的重要原因是学生向教师披露心理健康问题的意愿的重要预测因素。此外，以前向讲师报告过心理健康状况的学生认为，与以前从未与讲师分享过心理健康状况的学生相比，披露的风险更高。
