This quantitative study was conducted to determine whether a significant relationship exists
between perceived teachers’ self-disclosure and students’ out of classroom communication with
teachers in a Malaysian private institution of higher learning. A survey consisting of two
questionnaires, namely the Perceived Teacher’s Self-Disclosure scale designed by Cayanus and
Martin (2008) as well as Knapp and Martin’s (2002) Out-of-Classroom Communication Scale
were collected from 144 final year undergraduates from a Malaysian private institution of
higher learning. Using the SPSS, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient,
independent-samples t-test and one-way between-groups ANOVA with post-hoc tests were used
to analyze the data. The findings indicated a positive relationship between the dimensions of
amount and relevance in perceived teachers’ self-disclosure and students’ out of classroom
communication. There was no significant difference recorded between gender, with perceived
teachers’ self-disclosure and students’ out of classroom communication. Besides, there was also
no significant difference recorded between age, with perceived teachers’ self-disclosure and
students’ out of classroom communication. The study concludes that Malaysian
undergraduates’ perceptions towards teachers’ self-disclosure influences the out of classroom
communication with teachers.
