Summary

This chapter reviews research on disclosure and secrecy in Turkish adolescents’ relationships with their parents in comparison with research from other cultures. Research on the topics, targets, and justifications of, and demographic differences in adolescent disclosure to and secrecy from their parents show that adolescents across cultures are more similar than different in managing their privacy with their parents. With development, adolescents construct their private and communal self, through selecting the topics to disclose, to whom to disclose, and the extent of disclosure. Disclosure and secrecy are similarly associated with parenting behaviors and well-being across cultures. Variations, however, stem from socioeconomic differences of families. Future research may consider going beyond broad categorizations of cultures (e.g. individualism and collectivism) and focus on the extent of convergence between the worldviews of adolescents and parents, which is likely to determine the scope and the frequency of sharing information with parents.
