“Maybe I'm Amazed” : Chris Farley’s Communication Apprehension Tendency Some symptoms of communication apprehension that Chris Farley exhibited would be excessive fidgeting with his hands, fast pace breathing, trouble encoding his speech, intense posture, and lack of direct eye contact. When considering all the communication apprehension that Chris Farley showed, it definitely had an impact of how I perceived him as an interviewer. I perceived Chris Farley during the skit as someone who is nervous, a little unprepared, and has unfocused energy. He seems nervous because of his constant fidgeting with his hands and because of the lack of eye contact with Paul Mccartney. And because often he could not get his words to come out as he wished he was having a lot of difficulty with encoding. Lastly the energy he gave off during the interview was very sporadic and felt all over the place partially due to how nervous he was during the skit. When considering all of the communication apprehensions exhibited Chris Farley overall all came across as ill prepared and not as professional. …show more content…

    How we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us. Throughout the interview I knew that the way I interacted within the group would determine whether or not I would be able to study as a student nurse.

Using Goffman 's theory of self (1959), the 'social mask ' I put on during the interview, could be seen as 'performance ', '...the term ‘performance’ refers to all activity of an individual in front of a particular set of observers, or audience... ' , I wasn 't my: bubbly, hyper self, I felt I had to keep this hidden as I was in a professional environment. Therefore, Johari 's window demonstrates mundane realism, because my self-image did change. My bubbly, hyper personality which is usually 'open/public ' was now 'Hidden/private '. However, Johari 's window see 's self-awareness constructed by the individual alone, which makes the theory over –simplified and not interactionist as it only considers 'nurture ' factors impacting on an individual’s self-awareness, when in reality it’s a combination of biological/genetic and social factors (nature nurture). Therefore the theory is reductionist as it over simplifies human behaviour. Although Johari 's window doesn 't give a holistic reflection for my own self-awareness and communication, the fact I can identify this as a result of using Gibb’s model means that I have a rounded analysis of my interviewing
