The Synergy of Lecturers Social Competence Towards the Formation of Self Disclosure of Early Level Students

Students must own their self-disclosure, particularly in the first year when adjusting to a new environment.

The correlational research type is used in the research method, which takes a quantitative approach. The entire research sample consists of first-year freshmen. 146 pupils made up the study's sample. Cluster sampling is the method of sampling that is used. The Self Disclosure Scale, an adaptation and modification of the Jourard Self-Disclosure Questionnaire, and the Social Competency Scale, which was developed based on the social competency part of Buss, were used to collect the data. To compare results depending on gender, two independent sample T-tests and simple linear regression are the analysis methods employed.

Additionally, the correlation between the lecturer's self-disclosure and social competence indicates that the latter is positively correlated with the former, and vice vers
