Beyond Anthropomorphism: Exploring the Roles of Perceived Non-humanity and Structural Similarity in Deep Self-Disclosure Toward Generative AI

This study investigates deep self-disclosure toward generative AI by examining perceived non-humanity and structural similarity as psychological factors beyond anthropomorphism. Perceived non-humanity may reduce evaluation apprehension, whereas structural similarity refers to the perceived logical alignment between a user's thinking and AI responses. Using cross-sectional survey data from 2,400 participants collected in 2025, this study analyzed associations with both the occurrence and depth of self-disclosure.
