36
Q

How does self-awareness influence the way people relate to others?

A

Self-awareness concerns knowing one’s internal states, preferences, resources and intuitions. How people see themselves influences the way they relate to others, their capacity or readiness for self-disclosure, their ability to give and receive feedback in interpersonal relationships, their self-confidence and their level of emotional intelligence. People who display attributes of self-awareness are able to communicate, collaborate and build effective workplace relationships.

37
Q

Differentiate between the two dimensions of the Social Style model, assertiveness and responsiveness.

A

The assertiveness dimension reflects the measure of whether a person appears to ask or tell in interactions with others.

The responsiveness dimension reflects the extent to which a person reacts readily to influence or stimulation with a display of feelings.

38
Q

Define Social Style

A

“Social style” is the behaviour that one exhibits when interacting with others. The Social style model helps people to better understand and work with others through appreciation of their basic decision making and control needs.

39
Q

Assertiveness High and Low

A

A person with higher assertiveness are more likely to face up to difficulties rather than avoiding them. They have a higher confidence in themselves, which makes them more competitive and ready to act quickly and take risks.

A person with low assertiveness tend to avoid risks. Being slower to react to new information than the competitive high-assertive people, they tend to be more inquisitive and collaborative.

40
Q

Responsiveness High and Low

A

A person with higher responsiveness has a higher emotional response to others. This may appear as empathy although it may simply be that they have less control over their own emotions and react in an emotional way. They are generally people-oriented, whether this is for purposes of company or altruism.

A person with lower responsiveness is less likely to be empathetic as there is less emotional content in their reactions. Their response has a higher cognitive element and so they think more before responding, which can make responses slower.
