2. situation or interaction environment

3. motivation

factors that influence our self-presentation

1. first principle of direct reflections

2. second principle of perceived self

3. generalized other

principles of reflected appraisals

self-concept is largely shaped by the responses of others

first principle of direct reflections

imagining how we look in the eyes of others

second principle of perceived self

self arises out of social experience, particularly social interaction

third principle of generalized other

“Human beings learn about themselves by comparing themselves to others

social evaluation theory by Pettigrew

referent individual or reference group

key factor of social comparisons

1. superior or inferior

2. same or different

marks of social comparisons

notion of individual perception

self-attribution

1. significance of a given component

2. self-concept is less competitive

3. self-concept change may be difficult or easy depending on how a component or trait figures centrally to an individual’s system of self-values

points of self-values

creating, functioning, and evaluation of symbolic processes which operate within the originating or responding communicator

wiseman and barker definition of intrapersonal communication

life orientation

center portion of the diagram of wiseman and barker

wiseman-barker model of intrapersonal communication

result of the sum total of social, hereditary and personal factors which have influenced your development as an individual

life orientation

internal stimuli

nerve impulses that are received by the brain

external stimuli

come from outside our bodies, from our immediate or proximate enviromment

covert external stimuli

external stimuli that are received at the preconscious or subconscious level

reception

when the body first receives stimuli that is when intrapersonal communication really starts

external receptors

found on or near the surface of the body, reacts to physical, chemical, and mechanical stimuli

internal receptors

nerve endings, anything within the body

discrimination

determines what stimuli are allowed to stimulate thought

regrouping

the strongest and most important stimuli previously selected are arranged in a meaningful sequence

ideation

stage where message are thought out, planned, and organized

incubation

process of allowing ideas to grow and develop further

symbol encoding

symbols of thought are transformed into words and gestures or actions

transmission

destination is the communicator himself

feedback

response to a message coming from an external source, someone other than the speaker

1. external self-feedback

2. internal self-feedback

types of feedback

external self-feedback

self-communicator’s response through airwaves

internal self-feedback

is felt through bone conduction and muscular movement

1. the open quadrant

2. the blind area

3. the hidden quadrant

4. the unknown area

Johari Window

1. open self

2. blind self

3. hidden self

4. unknown self

what the four quadrants represent

__ determine the way we present ourselves

others

motives of the self in undertaking a relationship determine self-presentation

motivation

different situations bring about shifts in identity primarily because they offer cues for maximization of reward

situation or interaction environment
