Abstract
Abstract Non-disclosure of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been linked to medical (e.g. infection/treatment recuperation rate) and social (e.g. social support) related problems, and there is paucity of literature addressing the role of behavioral intervention in improving self-disclosure. This study examined the efficacy of Psychological Inoculation (PI) in enhancing self-disclosure. A randomized-clinical-trial design was adopted. Fifty-five respondents (39.5 ± 10.5 years) who scored below the mean ( = 45.30) on HIV-Self-disclosure Index were purposively assigned to study groups. The PI was effective in enhancing self-disclosure (effect size (np 2) = 0.35). However, individuals who received the refutation preemption variant ( = 78.18) and the supportive variant of PI ( = 75.18) reported higher disclosure than those who did not ( = 72.39). Psychological Inoculation was reported effective in enhancing self-disclosure. Psychological Inoculation should be incorporated into the existing treatment for HIV/AIDS.

Basic and Applied Social Psychology (BASP) emphasizes the publication of outstanding research articles, but also considers literature reviews, criticism, and methodological or theoretical statements spanning the entire range of social psychological issues. The journal will publish basic work in areas of social psychology that can be applied to societal problems, as well as direct application of social psychology to such problems. The journal provides a venue for a broad range of specialty areas, including research on legal and political issues, environmental influences on behavior, organizations, aging, medical and health-related outcomes, sexuality, education and learning, the effects of mass media, gender issues, and population problems.
