b. education and cultural background
c. gender and education
d. cultural background and gender

Answer 1

Your self-disclosure, that is, the way you reveal yourself to other people, what information you give them and how you present yourself generally are most affected by gender and cultural background.

In fact, in many situations you would want to hide your income in such situations and your education is not very relevant.

Answer 2

The term self-disclosure denotes the process of revealing information about ourselves to others. In addition to who you are, cultural background and gender affect self-disclosure. Correct answer: D

The gender influences the self-disclosure: women more than men tend to disclose overall and they tend to talk about intimate or personal topics with each other . men on the other hand are more closed. However, the opposite may be also true. The culture and the values and norms associated with a particular culture have great influence on the self-disclosure.
