Self-disclosure scores and grades in nursing college

Abstract

"A self-disclosure questionnaire was administered to a group of students of nursing during their sophomore year. At the conclusion of their senior years, grade-point averages were calculated for (a) all nursing courses taken during the 4 years of study, (b) nursing courses taken in the junior and senior years, (c) all nonnursing courses taken during the 4-year program, and (d) all courses combined. Significant correlations were found between the scores for disclosure to Mother, Female Friend, and Total Disclosure, on the one hand, and all grade-point averages in which nursing courses were included. Disclosure to Father was significantly correlated with grades for all nursing courses, and grades in nursing courses taken in the junior and senior years. Disclosure to Male Friend was not significantly correlated with any of the gradepoint averages." From Psyc Abstracts 36:04:4KL44J. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
