Study Notes
Developing Self-Awareness: Learning Processes for Self- and Interpersonal Growth
- Self-awareness, how we see ourselves and the impact we have on our environment, affects our behavior and the type of person we aspire to be.
- This study examines research and practical approaches to self-awareness development over time.
- The study builds upon existing comprehensive literature reviews to define self-awareness and evaluate its accuracy, measurement, and effects, including the potential negative aspects of excessive introspection.
- A framework is proposed to integrate theoretical self-awareness processes.
- Research results on educational interventions focusing on mindfulness, reflection, feedback, and coaching to increase self-awareness are presented.
- The study emphasizes the need for further research in measuring and tracking self-awareness changes, designing interventions, analyzing self's impact on others, and self-presentation on digital media, including how self-awareness affects organizational and team membership.
Defining Self-Awareness
- Self-awareness is the ability to understand one's self clearly, becoming the object of one's own internal attention.
- Internal and external components define self-awareness. Internal self-awareness encompasses feelings, beliefs, thoughts, interests, goals, personality, values, and life patterns. External self-awareness includes perceptions of physical appearance and behavior, and social evaluations of ourselves and the impact of our behavior on others.
- Self-awareness processes involve thinking about ourselves, recognizing characteristics, and applying this understanding to our interactions with others. These processes include introspection, self-examination, reflection, rumination, and mindfulness.
Self-Awareness Accuracy
- Self-evaluations are often inaccurate, with objective assessments showing a correlation of only 0.29.
- Implicit vs Explicit self-views explain this discrepancy. Implicit self-view operates unconsciously; explicit is conscious.
- Differences in self-perceptions and external assessments (supervisor or peer evaluations, assessments centers) can create inaccurate or flawed self-views which could affect motivation and behaviors.
Effects of Self-Awareness
- Self-awareness contributes to better decision making, improved team performance, increased leadership opportunities, and enhanced resilience.
- It's associated with reduced stress, increased self-regulation, and prosocial behaviors.
- Excessive introspective behavior may result in negative outcomes such as depression, self-blame, and anxiety.
- People with low self-awareness may utilize self-protective mechanisms such as denial, withdrawal, and self-aggrandizement.
- Self-awareness is linked to higher leadership effectiveness, better ability to assess uncertain situations, adapt, and maintain composure.
Interventions to develop self-awareness
- Mindfulness training, feedback, and coaching are highlighted as effective intervention methods.
- Interventions help develop self-awareness processes, and in turn, boost self-confidence, resilience, and self-insight
- Time and resources are required for these interventions and continuous support beyond initial training may be helpful.
Developing Self-Awareness
- Theory-based strategies, educational and teaching interventions, and personal interventions are proposed as three general categories.
- Self-awareness isn't a fixed state but a continuous development.
- Adult developmental theories (Kegan, Laske) provide a framework to understand self-awareness changes over time.
- Experiential learning, with feedback from others plays an essential role.
Self-Awareness and Other Relationships
- Societal culture and gender have an impact on how self-awareness is viewed.
- Digital media usage affects how people project self-images and how these projections interact with and/or affect others.
- Team dynamics and peer interactions influence individual self-awareness.
