Study Notes

Knowing Oneself: The Johari Window

The Johari Window model, created by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham, depicts self-awareness through four quadrants: Public Self, Private (Hidden) Self, Blind Self, and Undiscovered Self.
The Public Self represents what is known by both oneself and others, while the Private Self includes aspects we choose not to disclose.
The Blind Self consists of traits others perceive in us that we may not recognize, and the Undiscovered Self contains attributes that remain unknown to both us and others.

Self-Concept

Proposed by Carl Rogers, self-concept encompasses how individuals perceive their behaviors, abilities, and unique characteristics.
It consists of the Ideal Self (the traits one strives to possess) and the Real Self (how one sees themselves at a given moment).
Self-awareness is more flexible during youth as individuals navigate self-discovery, becoming more organized with age.

Adolescence: Understanding Developmental Stages

The term "adolescent" derives from the Latin word "adolescentem," meaning growing, near maturity, categorized by the World Health Organization as ages 10 to 19.
Adolescence bridges the transition from childhood to adulthood, often marked by a quest for identity in personal, sexual, and occupational realms.
This period is divided into three stages: Early adolescence (11-13 years), Middle adolescence (14-17 years), and Late adolescence (18-21 years).

Domains of Development

Development during adolescence encompasses three interconnected domains:
- Physical Domain: Involves biological changes during puberty, including the development of primary and secondary sex characteristics and hormonal shifts.
- Cognitive Domain: Reflects the enhancement or maturation of thinking processes, fostering complex reasoning and increased processing speed.
- Psychosocial Domain: Emphasizes the quest for self-identity and emotional maturity, influencing interactions with significant others and shaping future roles.

Challenges in Adolescence

Adolescents often face a period referred to as “storm and stress,” dealing with conflicting emotions and developmental tasks.
Common struggles include understanding life's meaning, discovering faith, making choices, and setting personal goals.

Establishing Identity

Identity formation is aided by formal support systems, helping adolescents engage in roles expected by society for acceptance.
Developmental tasks are essential skills and knowledge required during various life stages to adapt successfully to future challenges.

Looking-Glass Self

Introduced by Charles Horton Cooley, the Looking-Glass Self theory posits that self-perception is influenced by how individuals believe others view them.
Self-image may be adjusted based on social feedback, which informs ongoing self-concept development.
