Try and be aware of the topics you discuss on each level, along with the number of statements in each category. In at paragraph, explain to me who you choose to speak with and why you choose this person. *Make sure they are a significant person in your life. Based on these findings, answer the following questions: 1. Which topics of self-disclosure do engage in most frequently? Least often? Point form is fine (2 marks) 2. What type of disclosure (cliché, facts, opinions, and feelings) do you use in each topic area? (4 marks) 3.

This is looking at the conversation between you and your chosen significant other. 1. Create a Johari Window representing the you through the conversations you had with your significant other.

Describe the advantages or disadvantages, or both, of not disclosing these parts of yourself. (4 marks) 3. Look at the blind area of your model. Is this area large or small because of the amount of feedback (much or little) that you get from your significant other or because of your willingness to receive the feedback that is offered? (3 marks) Re-watch the video that I played in class if you need a refresher on how these categories can be of differing sizes. 4.
