Marriage is a formalize intimate relationship or a long-term relationship where two individuals decide to enter into wedlock & stay together life-long after knowing each other well. Marriage
A relationship between two individuals without feelings of sexual desire for each other is called a platonic relationship. In such a relationship, a man & a woman are just friends & do not mix love with friendship. Platonic relationships might end in a romantic relationship with partners developing feelings of love for each other. Platonic Relationship
In these relationships, the individuals usually develop a relationship that exclusively lacks mutual love & consists of sexual behavior only that does not extend beyond one night. These individuals may be known as sexual partners in a wider sense of friends with benefits who consider sexual intercourse only in their relationship. Casual Relationships
Individuals united for a common cause or a common interest (may involve formal membership in clubs, organization, associations, societies, etc.) may be termed as a brotherhood or a sisterhood. In this relationship, individuals are committed to doing good deeds for fellow members & people. Brotherhood & Sisterhood
An acquaintance is a relationship where someone is simply known to someone by introduction or by a few interaction. There is an absence of close relationship & the individuals lack in-depth personal information about other. This could also be a beginning of a future close relationship. Acquaintances

The Johari Window model is a simple and useful tool for illustrating and improving self-awareness, and mutual understanding between individuals within a group. •The Johari Window model can also be used to assess and improve a group's relationship with other groups . The Johari Window
• The Johari Window model was devised by American psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in 1955, while researching group dynamics at the University of California Los Angeles. Founders
Luft and Ingham called their Johari Window model ' Johari ' after combining their first names, Joe and Harry. In early publications the word appears as ' JoHari '. Formation of Name
The Johari Window model is especially relevant due to modern emphasis on, and influence of • soft skills • behaviour • empathy • cooperation • inter-group development • interpersonal development. Influence Today
The Johari Window soon became a widely used model for understanding and training self-awareness, personal development, improving communications, interpersonal relationships, group dynamics, team development and intergroup relationships. Use of Johari Model
The Johari Window model is also referred to as a 'disclosure/feedback model of self awareness', and by some people an 'information processing tool'. The Johari Window actually represents information - feelings, experience, views, attitudes, skills, intentions, motivation, etc within or about a person - in relation to their group, from four perspectives. What actually Model Represents
The four Johari Window perspectives are called 'regions' or 'areas' or 'quadrants'. Each of these regions contains and represents the information - feelings, motivation , etc – known about the person, in terms of whether the information is known or unknown by the person , and whether the information is known or unknown by others in the group. Areas of Model
JOHARI QUADRANT 1 Johari region 1 is also known as the 'area of free activity'. what is known by the person about him/herself and is also known by others - open area, open self, free area, free self, or 'the arena‘. This is the information about the person – behaviour , attitude, feelings, emotion, knowledge, experience, skills, views, etc known by the person ('the self') and known by the group ('others'). Johari window four quadrants
Johari region 2 what is unknown by the person about him/herself but which others know - blind area, blind self, or ' blindspot ‘. Johari quadrant 2
what is known to ourselves but kept hidden from, and therefore unknown to others . what the person knows about him/herself that others do not know - hidden area, hidden self, avoided area, avoided self or 'facade‘. Johari quadrant 3
what is unknown by the person about him/herself and is also unknown by others unknown area or unknown self. It contains information, feelings, talent abilities, aptitudes, experiences etc, that are unknown to the person him/herself and unknown to others in the group. Johari quadrant 4
Some thing are perhaps better not to Communicated (like mental or health problem) Some people may pass on the information they received further then we desire. Some people may react negatively. Using Johari window is useless exercise if it is not linked to the activities that reinforce positive behavior or that correct negative behavior. Some cultures have a very open and accepting approach to feedback and others do not . Some people take personal feedback offensively . Drawbacks of Johari window
