THE SELF: Nature and Significance

▪ The most critical issue that anyone can experience in a lifetime

is to be in conflict with one’s self.
▪ We are unique individuals.
▪ Synonymous : self-awareness, consciousness, identity, self-
esteem, self-concept, and ego.
▪ The ‘self’ is thinking and a feeling being within ‘us’ and within
‘ourselves’.
▪ Intelligence and awareness is the requirements to determine the
being inside of us and what we have in this life.
THE SELF: Nature and Significance

▪The self generally is the distinct identity which

is summation of the experiences of an
individual.

▪The self is related to the awareness and

consciousness of a rational being.

(Magalona,Ethel,2018)
The Process of Discovering the Self

▪ Surge of hormonal imbalance

▪ Search for our true identity (process of learning, re-

learning and unlearning the lessons that we acquire from
the teachings of life).

▪ Life-learning is a continuous flux, an unending adventure

onto the realms of life’s complexities.

▪ Everything that we embrace in this learning experience

is part of our meaningful evolution.
The Johari Window: Getting to Know
‘The Self’

▪ Developed in 1955 at the University of California Los Angeles

▪ Designed by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham

▪ This model allows participants and their corresponding

relationship with the significant others through the four
quadrants determining traits relative to one’s self and other
judgment.
Determining the Four Quadrants

▪ The Arena- These are the traits or descriptions that one

sees in the ‘self’ similar to that perceived by the
significant others.
▪ The Façade- These are the traits that are known to the
‘self’ but not to the significant others.
▪ Blind Spot- This includes traits that the subject is
unaware of but the significant others claim to be
possessed by the subject.
▪ Unknown- This covers that both parties do not recognize
and consider as comprising the subject traits.
