Three parts of the FIRO model - answer 1. Inclusion needs, or our need
to feel accepted by and involved with others.
2. Control needs are concerned with the extent to which relationships
help us feel competent and confident as individuals, and, by extension,
influential over others.
3. Affection needs imply approval, and we all have a need for others to
approve of us, which is an external affirmation of our value and identity.
First stage of relational development - Initiating Stage/What are 3
communication strategies within the initiation stage? - answer We use
communication to initiate encounters with people we are interested in
dating, befriending, working with, or just becoming closer to.
1. Social attraction (the kind that friends feel toward one another based
on shared enjoyment of activities and interests), or task attraction (the
desire to work together or form professional connections based on a
perception that the individual is competent or skilled).
2. Ambiguous messages are a way to make contact with the target
individual. However, without other evidence that you are trying to
connect for the purpose of establishing a relationship, the target
individual might not understand your intent.
3. Flippant messages include trite opening lines, such as "Come here
often?" or (reportedly heard in a supermarket) "You know, you really
, shouldn't be buying that... it's not good for you; you should let me cook
for you sometime." What other tired, supposedly "cute" lines have you
been the victim of? Are you guilty of using them? If so, you might want
to rethink your strategy.
Johari's Window - Include definition and its four components - answer
The Johari Window was developed by psychologists Joseph Luft and
Harrington Ingham to help people better understand their relationships
with the self and others.
1. The first quadrant, or "open" area, represents things that you know
about yourself and that others know about you too.
2. The second quadrant of the Johari Window is labeled the "blind
area," and it illustrates the things we may not be aware of but that can
be seen by others.
3. The third quadrant of the Johari Window is labeled the "hidden" or
"façade" area. This area holds the things that we know about ourselves
but keep hidden from others.
4. Finally, the fourth quadrant, which is the "unknown" area of the
Johari Window, includes that which is unknown to both you and others.
