A concealable stigmatised identity (CSI) is any identity that can be hidden but, if revealed, can be potentially socially devaluing (e.g., sexual minority). Those living with a CSI have opportunities to disclose their identities to friends and family members or within professional contexts. According to the disclosure processes model, people adopt either approach-oriented or avoidance-oriented goals when self disclosing. The current study sought to identify how antecedent goals and relationship context are embodied in the dynamics of unintentional behaviours during disclosure. Participants simulated a disclosure event to both close other and professional other targets and were primed with either approach or avoidance-motivations. Postural activity and language were analysed using detrended fluctuation analysis and recurrence quantification analysis. Results revealed that the movement dynamics of participants who were motivated by approach goals exhibited more complex and flexible behaviour compared to those who were motivated by avoidance goals. In addition, there was more recurrent word use towards close others compared to professional others. These results support the supposition of the disclosure processes model that approach-avoidance motivation impacts behaviour and sheds light on the functional differences between relationship contexts on a CSI disclosure experience.

可隐藏的污名化身份 (CSI) 是可以隐藏的任何身份，但如果暴露，可能会在社会上贬值（例如，性少数）。那些与 CSI 一起生活的人有机会向朋友和家人或在专业环境中披露他们的身份。根据披露过程模型，人们在自我披露时采用接近导向或回避导向的目标。目前的研究试图确定先前的目标和关系背景如何体现在披露期间无意行为的动态中。参与者模拟了一个披露事件以关闭其他和专业的其他目标，并以接近或回避动机进行准备。使用去趋势波动分析和复发量化分析来分析姿势活动和语言。结果显示，与受回避目标驱动的参与者相比，受接近目标驱动的参与者的运动动力学表现出更复杂和灵活的行为。此外，与专业的其他人相比，亲密的人更经常使用词。这些结果支持披露过程模型的假设，即接近-回避动机影响行为，并阐明了 CSI 披露体验中关系上下文之间的功能差异。此外，与专业的其他人相比，亲密的人更经常使用词。这些结果支持披露过程模型的假设，即接近-回避动机影响行为，并阐明了 CSI 披露体验中关系上下文之间的功能差异。此外，与专业的其他人相比，亲密的人更经常使用词。这些结果支持披露过程模型的假设，即接近-回避动机影响行为，并阐明了 CSI 披露体验中关系上下文之间的功能差异。
