Finding the Right Words

1. The Johari's Window - Model of Self disclosure

Please read up about the Johari's Window in your textbook. Please feel free to use sources external to your textbook to help with your understanding of this concept.

2. The Assignment Due Date

The Johari Window project is due on March 18th at 11:59pm and will be submitted on the Discussion Board under the name: JOHARI WINDOW

A. THE JOHARI WINDOW PROJECT (All classes)

1. Creating the Window: Process Number of Characteristics in each Window

• Each window must have Two (2) characteristics/personality traits

The Johari Window will include the characteristics that you found out about yourself. Please see sample window below that describes the kind of information that would be included.

1. The Window

The information you include in your window will come from the Interview process above. Each window must have two characteristic/personality trait.

I. Open Window

The open window has information that we know about ourselves and that those around us know about us as well. Those we interact with most often will know a about us. So generally, you will ask the other person questions that are confirmatory in nature, for example, you may say/ask: I am impatient, do you agree with me on this?) If the person says no, then you continue talking about yourself until you generally agree on some information that is known to both of you.

II. The Blind Window

The blind window will contain information that we DON'T KNOW. Very often we interact with others and we don't know what they see in us/about us that may be revealing something about us. A good question that both you and the other person could ask is: "CAN YOU TELL ME A PERSONAL CHARACTERISTIC OR PERSONALITY TRAIT ABOUT ME THAT YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW?"

III. The Hidden Window

The hidden window contains the information that we know about ourselves but that we consider to be private, and therefore we do not want to show/share.

PLEASE NOTE: For this window, you will be responsible for providing THIS information about yourself to the other person.

IV. The Unknown Window

The unknown window remains unknown. However, the fact that you don't know this  information does not mean that it doesn't exist. It simply means that you are not in touch with it. This window remains blank.

B. THE INTERVIEW PROJECT: (Fully Online Only)

a. You will select a person of your choosing. Ideally, this should be someone you know well.

b. You will conduct an interview with that person.

c. You will use this interview to self-disclose and give the person the opportunity to do the same.

How will conduct this interview?

1. You will provide a list of questions (No more than 8 questions) that you want to ask that person about him/her self. These questions are designed to learn more about some of the characteristics that your friend possesses.

2. You will ask the person to provide a list of questions (No more than 8 questions) that he/she wants to ask you. These questions are designed to learn more about some of the characteristics that you possess.

3. Usually you will get more information than you set out to get. Write down everything. You may find use for the information later.

The objective is to

• provide information about yourself to that person

• get to know more about someone else

• Be careful of the questions that you ask. Do not invade others privacy.

C. THE ESSAY (All classes)

In addition to the WINDOW, you will have to write an ESSAYas part of this project. This ESSAY will be 2 pages long and will be graded according to the Standards below.

P.S.: You cannot write Essay until AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS WINDOW EXPERIMENT. Both Window and Essay are due at the same time.

The Essay must follow the Standards of the Rubric below. Please write the Essay in essay format using the following questions as a guideline.

• According to businessdictionary's website, GUIDELINE is defined as "Recommended practice that allows some discretion or leeway in its interpretation, implementation, or use. This means that I am providing the questions to GUIDE your essay, and NOT a set of questions that you must answer.

Guiding questions:

• What was the overall advantages/disadvantages of doing this project?

• Of all the things that you could have included in your open and hidden windows, why did you choose what you wrote?
