Abstract
This study examines the impact of self-disclosure behaviors on the psychological well-being of Taiwanese individuals, the antecedent influences of social capital, and the mediating effects of social support on the relationship between self-disclosure and psychological well-being. Data used in this study were derived from the second wave of the third phase of the Taiwan Communication Survey, involving 2,075 Taiwanese respondents. The findings reveal that both bonding and bridging social capital are significant predictors of self-disclosure and social support. Additionally, social support mediates the relationship between self-disclosure and life satisfaction and the relationship between self-disclosure and loneliness.
