Concept of SelfAll of us have different images of
self. We see ourselves in some way smart, slow, kind, cooperative, lazy, meticulous or shrewd, one can pick up any number of adjectives to describe oneself.
It is the ‘I’ behind the face of the mirror, the ‘I’ that nobody knows fully.
The self is the star in every act of communication.

Importance of self conceptA person’s self-concept affects
his way of relating with others.A strong self- concept is
necessary for healthy and satisfying interaction.
A weak self-concept on the other hand often distorts the individual’s perceptions of how others see him, generating feeling of insecurity in relating to other people.

Conflict of Self-conceptEach human being is several
selves. He lives in the role of father, husband, businessman, executive, player and so forth but if there are conflicts among any of these roles discomfort arises.
Such conflicts bring with them dynamics as tensions, guilty feelings
We tend to resolve these conflict based on our personality orientations.

Self-AwarenessAwareness of self does not
emerge in an individual at the time of his birth or any particular stage of his or her lifetime.
It gradually develops from its initial stages into more and more complex form.
It does not accomplish any final form in the course of human life.

‘I’-the Experiencer‘I’ is an agent, the experiencer.This component of self emerges
and develops in a mutual relationship with the individual’s environment.
The individual experiences himself or herself as an entity, separate from the world through satisfaction and dissatisfaction of his or her basic biological and social needs.
Attitudinal Empowerment/PNB/19-08-13
10
The ‘Me’- the experienced‘Me’ is a socially formed object.‘I’ is the spontaneous and acting
component of the self, the ‘me’ is the reflexive and evaluative component.
While the acting self focuses on the present and the future the reflecting self turns back towards the past to evaluate its own action.
The evaluation of one’s action is social rather than an individual process.

16
Open AreaRepresents the “public” or “awareness”
area and contains information that both you and others know
Information that you don’t mind admitting
Gets bigger over time as relationships mature
A productive relationship is related to the amount of mutually held information
Building a relationship involved expanding this area
Attitudinal Empowerment/PNB/19-08-13
17
Blind AreaInformation about yourself that
others know but you are not yet aware
Others may see you differently than you see yourself
Effective relations strive to reduce this area

Hidden AreaInformation that you know that
others do notPrivate feelings, needs, and past
experiences that you prefer to keep to yourself

Unknown AreaInformation that is unknown to
you and to othersAreas of unrecognized talent,
motives, or early childhood memories that influence your behavior

IDEAL WINDOWThe size of the arena increases
as the level of trust in the group increases and the norms that have been developed for giving and receiving feedback facilitate this kind of exchange.
As a consequence there is less tendency for other members to interpret or misinterpret.
