This study examines how late adolescents engage in self-disclosure during face-to-face communication with their parents. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with nine late adolescents aged 18–21 years from harmonious families and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings show that self-disclosure is selective, with adolescents more willing to discuss daily activities, academic matters, and friendships than personal feelings, romantic relationships, family conflicts, or future concerns.

Family harmony fosters trust and psychological safety, encouraging adolescents to disclose information according to their comfort and the sensitivity of the topic.]]>
