| Abstract: | Suicide is a major global health issue, with over 700,000 deaths and 20 million attempts annually (WHO, 2024; Turecki et al., 2019). This study explored the impact of negotiator self-disclosure on a person in crisis’s (PiC) willingness to disclose information and examined whether these effects vary by participant gender. Participants (N = 50) were randomly assigned to a no-self-disclosure or moderate-self-disclosure condition, after which they completed a simulated crisis-negotiation scenario. Results from an independent t-test, regression, and mediation analyses indicated no significant difference between the conditions in willingness to disclose, and trust did not mediate this relationship. Additionally, gender did not moderate the effect. These findings suggest that the role of self-disclosure in crisis negotiations may be less significant and its effectiveness more complex, underlining the need to test alternative communication strategies in more ecologically valid designs. |
