- Adolescents and one of their parents were surveyed regarding adolescent secrecy and disclosure to parents. The findings suggest that beliefs about obligations to disclose issues to parents were associated with actual disclosure. In addition expectations about disclosure and actual disclosure vary across domains and with age. Healthy parent-child relationships engender more disclosure.
