Study Notes

Self-Awareness and Values Education

Self-awareness is understanding one's own individual personality. "Self" refers to the entire person.
Awareness is defined as showing realization, participation, and knowledge of one's growth. Self-consciousness is a key element in understanding one's personality, which can help in personal and individual development.

The Johari Window

A psychological tool developed by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in 1955 to understand self-awareness and interpersonal relationships.
Open Area: Information known to both the individual and others (e.g., name, job role, observable behaviors, feelings).
Hidden Area: Information known to the individual but hidden from others (e.g., personal insecurities, unspoken opinions, secrets).
Blind Area: Information known to others but unknown to the individual (e.g., unintentional habits, nonverbal cues, perceived attitudes).
Unknown Area: Information unknown to both the individual and others (e.g., untapped potential, hidden talents, subconscious influences).

Ways to Develop Self-Awareness

Beware of what upsets you about others.
Practice meditation.
Create a personal timeline of beliefs.
Seek feedback from others.
