...contribute to one’s self-concept and self-disclosure. Self-concept and self-disclosure play a vital role in building positive interpersonal working relationships with others as they create social awareness and define the level of social skills. It is these skills that result in people and teams being able to perform better because of the equality of their interactions and acknowledgment of their contributions. Positive self-concept arises from positive self-esteem, positive self-evaluation, self-respect and self-acceptance. De Vito (2002, p. 78) agrees that ‘increasing your self-esteem will help you function more effectively in school, in your interpersonal relationships and in your career’ (as cited in Dwyer, 2013). As a result of increasing one’s self-esteem, effective communication in that environment is also increased. This is evident as those with high self-esteem expect to be perceived well by others which results in the individual being readily and more willing to express their opinions and share ideas. By being able to evaluate yourself positively, you are better able to gain insight into your own behavior, identify external influences and make better evaluations between wants and needs. Self-respect and self-acceptance also play a vital role in self-concept as it allows you to behave differently in different situations as well as demonstrate traits that define an individual positively. It is in these situations and in these traits we see how a positive self-concept results...

...ttachment and Self Disclosure in Groups Attachment and self disclosure can say a lot about a person. There was a study done to investigate attachment style and self disclosure in the first group counseling session. This was done in order to explain variable of group functioning. The attachment style was done by self report questionnaires and the self-disclosure was done by observations. There were more than four hundred participants that were split up into twenty seven different groups. I find taking over 400 people and placing them into twenty seven different groups is actually a quite strong way of studying attachment and disclosure. They were assessed on the basis of transcripts of the first group counseling session. As noted by the group leader and the participants, group functioning included self-disclosure, group empathy, group intimacy, and client behavior. The results indicated that a significant relationship existed between attachment and initial self disclosure. I agree with this. Many of people around the world find group counseling beneficial, but still there are some that disagree. The prediction of a person’s behavior in the group counseling process is important for the sake of both the group and the individual. This article covers the behind the scenes look at each of these behaviors and what role it has in a group. They wanted to examine whether a person’s behavior in a counseling group can be explained by means of self disclosure and attachment. I...

...Running head: SELF-DISCLOSURE, GENDER, AND COMMUNICATION 1 Self- Disclosure, Gender, and Communication Gary Wayne McCoy COM 200 Interpersonal Communications Instructor: Jennifer Chagala February 11, 2012 SELF-DISCLOSURE, GENDER, AND COMMUNICATION 2 “Self-Disclosure, Gender, and Communication” Communication is one of the most important things in our lives. Quality communication in marriage is defined as the interpersonal, transactional, symbolic process by which marriage partners achieve and maintain understanding of each other (Montgomery, 1981). Marriage and communication are far more complicated than it seems. This paper will discuss the self-disclosure in relationship. Also this paper will discuss why self-disclosure is important and directly related to satisfaction in gender. Finally, this paper will outline the overall view point of communication in marriage or relationship. Self-disclosure us the process of revealing something about yourself to another person, in most cases revealing something that you usually keep hidden like a secret. Self-disclosure might involve information about your values, desires and beliefs, your behavior, and your self-qualities or characteristics. Self-disclosure is also different among genders, woman tend to self-disclose more than men do, they tend to reveal more intimate information than men, and most commonly woman tend to disclose more than men about their...

...Appropriate use of self-disclosure The appropriate use of self-disclosure is another of the many “tricks of the trade” the scholar- practitioner must master and add to their therapeutic arsenal. I asked my own therapist about this and he told me about something that he heard at a conference many years ago. He says when he’s about to self-disclose he stops himself and asks (silently, to himself) W.A.I.T !?! or What Am I Telling? This gives him enough time to check himself and make sure he is a.) not doing it to satisfy any of his own needs and b.) upholding the ethical principles he is responsible for upholding, especially beneficence and non-maleficence. Non-verbal self-disclosure includes things like how we look and speak and happens all by itself. i.e.-if a counselor is 7 months pregnant and speaks with a heavy accent she is disclosing a couple of things about herself to the client whether she wants to or not. Immediate or interpersonal self-disclosure reveals feelings of the therapist. For instance, to the client who is 7 minutes late for every single appointment, I might decide to address that by saying something like “I just have to admit that I am curious if you recognize that your continuing late arrivals have started to make me wonder if you respect my time.” This brings the client to the immediate focus of the effects of his behavior where we can discuss it in context and it reveals an appropriate amount of information about my personal feelings which should...

...Ownership and Disclosure A Review of Literature By BADRU Bazeet and Mousa Sharaf Adin Hezam Abstract This is a review of various literatures on ownership and disclosure which has been carried out by various researchers in different countries. So far majorities of the researchers shows that the extent of corporate disclosure is negatively associated with a higher management of ownership structure and the extent of corporate voluntary disclosures is positively related with a higher institutional ownership structure. But findings also show that the negative relationship is weaker if the firm has a higher proportion of independent non- executive directors. Introduction Ownership Structure is a mechanism that aligns the interest of Shareholders and Managers. Corporate governace is the capstone of the activities that can reduce agency costs. Corporate mangers disclosure policies are influenced by firm’s ownership and governance on the level of various types of information disclosure. This is a summary of literature review on ownership structure and corporate disclosure. Studies have shown that ownership structure can be state, legal, managerial and block holder depending on the countries and cultural environment. Blockholder ownership is the percentage of shares held by substancial shareholders( that is shareholdings of 5% or more). Jensen and Meckling (1976) argue that substancial shareholders are expected to have both greater power and incentives to monitor management, as...

...Analyst information intermediation – private and public information –and the central role of knowledge and social forces in economic processes in the ‘market for information’. John Holland, University of Glasgow, Jo Danbolt, University of Edinburgh, Lei Chen, University of Keele. John Holland, University of Glasgow, The Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow, Main Building, Glasgow, G12 8QQ, Scotland Abstract: This paper develops a model of the information intermediation role of analysts in the ‘market for information’ (MFI). It illustrates how the same type of ‘soft’ intangibles information changes as it progresses through analyst information intermediation processes. The latter concern: company disclosure; analyst acquisition and analysis of company information; analyst reporting processes; and market impacts. The common information concerns ‘soft’ or qualitative information about the company intellectual capital (IC) or intangibles in the company business model. Banks and bank analysts are used as examples. Knowledge, social and economic factors in the wider ‘market for information’ (MFI) are shown to be major influences on ‘soft information’ and how it changes in analyst information intermediation processes. Negative knowledge and social factors play a role in weakening and eventually destabilising economic processes in analyst and the MFI. They were important factors in creating knowledge and information problems in analysts and the MFI, both ongoing...

...Boundaries and self-disclosure In the movie was the first session between Sean and Will. When Will said that Sean might have married the wrong woman from looking at Sean’s picture, Sean gets upset and tells Will to watch it. However, Will continues to push Sean’s button by speaking negatively about his wife. Here, Sean could’ve asked for Will to stop speaking about and say why. However, because of who Will is, he might have kept on speaking about her. Sean shares his experiences with Will to build rapport. This process develops trust and allows for more open speech as a result of Will feeling as if he can relate to Sean. There were three specific points in the movie were change was inspired, all of which were targeted at Will. The first...

...Journal of Economic Literature 2010, 48:4, 935–963 http:www.aeaweb.org/articles.php?doi=10.1257/jel.48.4.935 Quality Disclosure and Certification: Theory and Practice David Dranove and Ginger Zhe Jin* This essay reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on quality disclosure and certification. After comparing quality disclosure with other quality assurance mechanisms and describing a brief history of quality disclosure, we address two sets of theoretical issues. First, why don’t sellers voluntarily disclose through a process of “unraveling” and, given the lack of unraveling, is it desirable to mandate seller disclosure? Second, when we rely on certifiers to act as the intermediary of quality disclosure, do certifiers necessarily report unbiased and accurate information? We further review empirical evidence on these issues, with a particular focus on healthcare, education, and finance. The empirical review covers quality measurement, the effect of third-party disclosure on consumer choice and seller behavior, as well as the economics of certifiers. ( JEL D18, K32, L15, M31) 1.

I. 71 _________________ Reece (2013) Effective Human Relations: Interpersonal and Organizational Applications, Chapter 3 ‘Understanding Your Communication Style’: 49-74. Chapter 3 is about being self-conscious of your communications style, about being sensitive to the impact of your observable style on others. Communication style unlike personality is acquired. The chapter’s ‘Tip of the Iceberg’ is about mirroring (but not mimicking) or matching the style of another. The ‘Fundamental Concepts Supporting Communication Styles are listed as: 1. Individual differences exist and are important. 2. Individual style differences tend to be stable (refer Jung). 3. There is a limited number of styles (Jung’s behaviour styles of – intuitor, thinker, feeler, and sensor). 4. A communication style is a way of thinking and behaving – a preferred way rather than an ability. 5. To create the most productive working relationships, it is necessary to get in sync (mirror) the behaviour patterns (communication style) of the people you work with – style flexing. Readers are presented with the Dominance Continuum and asked where they should be on it. They can perceive themselves on a range of 14 dominance continuums. Other continuums on which they can perceive themselves include the Sociability Continuum (of 14 continuums) These are then combined...

It will also give a brief outlook on the importance of legislation in recording, storing and accessing data. Why Organisations Need to Collect Data To satisfy legal requirement: every few months there is some request from the government sector to gather, maintain and reports lots of information back to them on how many people do we have in the organization, working hours, how much our expenses for the whole year, we should keep data stored in case information is needed to defend the company legal actions that could arise at any time To provide documentation in the event of a claim: safety legislation and health required that require that records are kept of accidents , whenever an employee make claims to employment tribunals and the employer need to defend such a case he will demands on the accuracy and comprehensive of personal records To provide the organization with information to make decision: since the computer software is developed the information is more readily available, will aid identify problems and helps in taking decision in relation to promotion and salary increases.

...Opt-In vs. Opt-Out From the viewpoint of the customer, an advantage of the opt-in versus opt-out approach to collecting personal information is the convenience of knowing personal information will not be collected unless you have opted to allow the organization to collect your personal information. However, I also find it a hindrance to be forced to decide to opt-in or opt-out of personal information disclosure by organizations. When referencing opt-in or opt-out approaches to collecting personal information an advantage to both is that the customer is informed of the organization’s intent to collect and distribute personal information. Many organizations have taken advantage of customers and collected personal information for internal use and distribution without the knowledge or consent of their customers. From the viewpoint of an organization, the opt-out approach would likely be the most desirable methodology. By using the opt-out approach customers must decidedly opt-out of allowing personal information to be collected. I suspect, many customers would not read notification language to opt-out and as a result inadvertently allow their personal information to be collected. As a result, the opt-out approach would probably result in a higher number of customer complaints that their personal information was collected. However, the organization would likely compile more personal information for internal use and sale to outside entities. For any organization the decision to...

... The primary purpose of this essay is to comparatively analyze information disclosure of intellectual capital in the UK and China, using the content analysis method on company annual reports. In contemporary society, the importance of intellectual capital (IC) and the popularity of using IC to value a company’s competitiveness have been increasing. The definition offered by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (2001) is probably one of the most comprehensive definitions: “…the possession of knowledge and experience, professional knowledge and skill, good relationships and technological capacities, which when applied will give organizations competitive advantage.” Predicting a company’s future market performance is one of the key functions of IC information disclosure (Roslender and Fincham, 2004). Consequently, IC will have a significant role in the future value creation process. This study has some limitations, such as the small sample number, which has implications for how representative the data are. Ten companies in the respective stock markets were selected in the UK and China (total twenty) and content analysis was performed. A larger sample would have made the calculations too complex for the time available. The following paper reports the results of empirical research indicating that the trend of IC information disclosure is steadily increasing in both China and the UK, indicating that British companies had a better approach...
