Answer 1

Answer:

The communication behaviour that kim is engaged in is selective self-disclosure.

Explanation:

Self-disclosure is a process of communication by which one person reveals information about themselves to another. The information can be descriptive or evaluative, and can include thoughts, feelings, aspirations, goals, failures, successes, fears, and dreams, as well as one's likes, dislikes, and favorites.

Selective self-disclosure means self-disclosure but providing only that information which will create a positive image of one person on another.
