Abstract

We present the Relationship Closeness Induction Task (RCIT), a structured selfdisclosure (i.e., question and answer) procedure for the induction of relationship closeness in the laboratory. The RCIT consists of29 questions and takes 9 minutes to administer. The validity of the RCIT has been demonstrated in several experiments. The RCIT affords the researcher with several advantages, such as theory-testing potential, avoidance of methodological pitfalls, and convenience.
