JOHARI WINDOWHow much you know yourself? Presented to: Dr. A.K. Singh Presented by: Divya Jyoti Behl 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? 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 –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 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 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 Complete Johari Window Model 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. Questionnaire Questionnaire… •If a colleague of mine had a ‘personality conflict’ with a Manager of another department, with whom it is important that he cooperate for the success of work, I would : ___A. Tell the colleague that he was partially responsible for the conflict and indicate how the other person is being affected by him. ___B. Not get involved for fear that my relationship would get affected with them. •If one of my colleagues with whom I had a heated argument in the past, and I realized that since then he is uncomfortable in my presence, I would: ___A. Avoid making matters worse by calling attention to that behavior and let the whole thing drop. ___B. Comment on his behavior and ask him how our argument has affected our relationship Mode of Data Collection • Visiting the PSUs and Private offices-37 samples •Online filling of Forms from working professionals/students: 70 •Females-36; males-71 and Students-55; working Professionals-52 Data Analysis...

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.
