Study Notes
The Johari Window
- The Johari Window is a model of self-awareness, named after its inventors Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham
- It divides personal awareness into four quadrants: open, hidden, blind, and unknown
Open Window
- Represents things that you know about yourself and others know about you
- Includes behavior, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and public history
- Examples: height, hairstyles
Blind Area
- Represents things about you that you aren’t aware of, but that are known by others
Hidden Area
- Represents things that you know about yourself, but that others don’t know
- Includes private information, feelings, insecurities, and not-so-great experiences
- Examples: belief in religion, political leanings, fears, dreams
Unknown Area
- Represents things that are unknown to you and unknown by others
- Could be undiscovered abilities and potentials
Personality
- The unique way in which each individual thinks, acts, and feels throughout life
Sigmund Freud's Divisions of Personality (Psychodynamic Perspective)
ID
- The most primitive part of the personality, unconscious, pleasure-seeking, and amoral
- Basic biological drives: hunger, thirst, self-preservation, and sex
- Pleasure principle: immediate gratification
EGO
- The decision-making component of personality
- Reality principle: satisfying the demands of the id without negative consequences
SUPEREGO
- Contains the conscience, making people feel guilty
- Focuses on how we ought to behave, striving for perfection
Carl Jung's Analytical Psychology
Personal Unconscious
- Contains unique, individual memories and experiences
Collective Unconscious
- Contains universal human memories, called archetypes
- Archetypes are emotionally charged images and thought forms with universal meaning
Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory
- Multiple types of intelligence, beyond traditional notions of intelligence
Defense Mechanisms
- Repression: pushing thoughts into the unconscious
- Denial: not accepting an ego-threatening truth
- Displacement: redirecting one's feelings toward another person or object
- Projection: believing that others hold feelings that are actually one's own
- Reaction Formation: expressing the opposite of how one truly feels
- Regression: returning to an earlier, comforting form of behavior
