     Interview Research. This section reviews research investigating the variable of revealingness in interview settings. In those studies the various instruments used to assess revealingness have been employed as dependent as well as independent variable measures. As dependent variables revealingness measures have been used to assess the qualities of ongoing interview interaction, and as measures of the reactions of subjects to various aspects of the interview situation after the interviews had been terminated. As independent variables, they have been used as procedures for selecting subjects.

     Suchman […] decided to construct a rating scale for measuring self-disclosure based on subjects' voice quality and language style as well as on the content of their disclosure, representing subjects' willingness to communicate feelings. The result was Suchman's six-point Revealingness Scale, which extended the EXP Scale to lower levels of experiencing or revealingness. […] Keller (1965) is developing a scale for measuring revealingness in children.
