2. Introduction Two American Psychologists,   Jo seph Luft and Harri ngton Ingham in 1955, developed Johari window model. Luft and Ingham named their model "Johari" using a combination of their first names.  

3. Johari window or Fringe is a simple model helps people to understand their relationship within themselves and with others. It is otherwise called disclosure/feedback model of self-awareness or information processing tool. MEANING

4. FOUR REGIONS / FOUR AREAS Open self/area: Blind self/area: Hidden self/area: Unknown self/area:

5. Open self/area: This region represents what is known by a person about himself/herself and also known by others.

6. Blind self/area: This region represents what is unknown about himself/herself but which is known to others. Like the open self, these can be positive or negative, like adaptable, modest, self-conscious or tense.

7. Hidden self/area: This region represents what the person knows about him/herself that others do not know. One either intentionally keep this information hidden from others or you have not found any occasion or need to share it.

8. Unknown self/area: This region represents what is unknown by the person about him/herself and is also unknown by others

9. The model has four square grid like window with four pans. The four squares represents four regions/area related to self-awareness.

11. PRINCIPLES OF JOHARI WINDOW The following three principles help to explain how it functions: 1. A change in any one quadrant affects all other quadrants. 2. The smaller the quadrant 1, the poorer the communication. 3. Interpersonal learning means that a change has taken place, so quadrant 1 is larger and one or more of the other quadrant is smaller.

12. GOALS OF JOHARI WINDOW The goal of applying Johari Window is :- To increase the size of your open self. It has several benefits. To build trust with others by disclosing information about oneself. To get help from others in learning about oneself and grow as a person.

13. Steps to use Johari Window Effectively:- The goal of self-awareness is “To enlarge the area of quadrant 1 while reducing the size of the other three quadrants.”

14. 1.To achieve this, the first step is To enlarge the first quadrant by allowing the individual to genuinely express their emotions, identifying and accepting personal needs and Making them move in free, joyful and spontaneous ways. This helps to explore personal thoughts , feelings, memories and actions.

15. 2. The next step in the process is To reduce the size of the quadrant 2 by listening to and learning from others . As we relate our perceptions to others , we broaden ourselves, But such learning requires active listening and openness to feedback from others.

16. 3.The final step involves, Reducing the size of the quadrant 3 by self-disclosing or revealing the important aspects of self to others. Self-disclosure is both a sign or/and a means of achieving healthy personality.

17. Drawbacks / PROBLEMS of Johari Window:- The Johari window as a tool has its own drawbacks, Some intimate things are better not to be communicated with others. People may further pass on information they received or use it in a negative way. Some people or cultures have a very open and accepting approach to feedback and some do not. This may end up in terminating the relationship itself.
