Revealing secrets refers to the behavior of disclosing information that one intends to conceal from one or more others. Due to the confidential nature of secrets, their implicit help-seeking dimension, and the requirement for discretion, the act of revealing secrets transcends general self-disclosure, constituting a more deeply embedded social act. However, the theoretical distinction between revealing secrets and general self-disclosure lacks systematic delineation. This study aimed to systematically delineate the distinguishing characteristics between revealing secrets and general self-disclosure, providing a theoretical foundation for future research focused on issues unique to secret revelation.
