Objectives•What is JOHARI WINDOW•Objectives of Study•Selection of Questionnaire•Data Collection•Statistical tools•Data analysis•Conclusions•Limitations

•Developed by American psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in the 1950's.•The Johari Window is a communication model that can be used to improve understanding between individuals within a team or in a group setting.•Based on disclosure, self-disclosure and feedback, it can also be used to improve a group's relationship with other groups

What is Johari window?

There are two key ideas behind the tool:•Individuals can build trust between themselves by disclosing information about themselves.

•Individuals can learn about themselves and come to terms with personal issues with the help of feedback from others.

Johari window

Johari –Quadrant 1

‘Open self/area’ or ‘free area’ or ‘public area’, or ‘arena’•It is the area known by the person ('the self') and known by the group ('others'). •It gives information about the person’s - behaviour, attitude, feelings, emotion, knowledge, experience, skills, views, etc •The aim is to develop the 'open area‘ , because when we work in this area with others we are at our most effective and productive, and the team is at its most productive too•It is the space where good communications and cooperation occur, free from distractions, mistrust, confusion, conflict, and misunderstanding

Johari –Quadrant 2

‘Blind self' or ‘blind area’ or ‘blindspot’•It is the area what is known about a person by others in the group, but is unknown by the person him/herself.•The aim is to reduce this area by seeking or soliciting feedback from others and thereby to increase the open area, i.e., to increase self-awareness•Discovery through communications, active listening and experience, will reduce the unknown area.

Johari –Quadrant 3‘Hidden self' or 'hidden area' or 'avoided self/area' or 'facade‘•What is known to ourselves but kept hidden from, and therefore unknown, to others•Represents information, feelings, etc, anything that a person knows about him/self, but which is not revealed or is kept hidden from others•Also include sensitivities, fears, hidden agendas, manipulative intentions, secrets - anything that a person knows but does not reveal.•Relevant hidden information and feelings, etc, should be moved into the open area through the process of 'self-disclosure' and 'exposure process’

Johari –Quadrant 4‘Unknown self‘, 'area of unknown activity‘, 'unknown area'•Information feelings, aptitudes, experiences etc, that are unknown to the person and unknown to others in the group.•It could include repressed or subconscious feelings rooted in formative events and traumatic past experiences, which can stay unknown for a lifetime.•It can be prompted through self-discovery or observation by others, or through collective or mutual discovery•Counseling can also uncover unknown issues

Objectives of Study

•To study the behavior of people in terms of their self awareness.•To study the relation between the behavior of students and working professionals and their responses.•To analyze the responses between male and female•To analyze the responses of students and working professionals.

Respond to each of the 20 statements using the following scale:* Carefully read each numbered item and its statements marked "A" and "B." * Assign a point value to the A and B statements as follows: * The total point value for A and B added together is five (5). * If statement A is most similar to what you would do, mark 5 for A and 0 for B. * If A is not wholly satisfactory, but in your judgment better than B, mark 4 or 3 for A and 1 or 2 for B. * The converse is true: if B is best mark 5 for B and 0 for A and so on.

Conclusions

•Responses of questionnaire are dependent of the fact that whether the respondent is male or female. •Responses of questionnaire are dependent of the fact that which sector the respondent belongs to.

Limitations

•Small sample size may cause errors a it may not be the actual representation of the universe.

• Unequal number of samples in each group can give skewed results.

• The results might suffer form individual biases and prejudices.
