The Johari Window: Enhancing Self-Awareness and Relationships
- The Johari Window is a model created by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham, named after the first letters of their names, to enhance self-awareness and relationships.
- It consists of four squares representing what is known to oneself and others, what is known only to oneself, what is known only to others, and what is unknown to both.
- The "open area" is where everything known about oneself is also known to others, like personality traits and beliefs openly shared.
- The "hidden area" contains information known to oneself but not shared with others, like fears or aspirations, which can expand by sharing with others.
- The "blind area" holds aspects unknown to oneself but known to others, offering opportunities for growth through feedback from friends and self-realization.
- The "unknown area" represents undiscovered aspects of oneself, waiting to be revealed through new experiences, encouraging stepping out of comfort zones for self-discovery.
