Self‐disclosure patterns of Anglo‐Americans and Mexican Americans were analyzed according to overall frequency of reported self‐disclosure and preferred targets (i.e., mother, father, male friend, female friend). Administrator sex and ethnicity were systematically varied so that the interaction of these variables with participant sex and ethnicity could be investigated. Results revealed that Anglo‐Americans reported the most disclosure and Mexican‐American men the least. Some suggestions are provided for counselors working with Mexican‐American men.
