Q: “How does intra and interpersonal perception (understanding yourself and other people) contribute to individual success both at university and later at work? “
The basis of being successful in university and later at work is fundamentally reliant on intra and interpersonal perception. In managing organisations managers need to strive on improving relationships with others. Being able to understand yourself and other people will inevitably improve personal and group performance in these environments. In order to be successful at university and post-university, it is important that individuals work towards self-monitoring performance for continual improvement, have a strong understanding of emotional intelligence and how this affects understanding others and finally coordinating successfully when working with groups and teams.
Being able to self-monitor yourself and other people involves a review of performance which will result in making necessary changes and improvements. In Bercher’s study it was discovered that continuous feedback throughout the duration of a task is more effective than solely outcome feedback (Bercher 2012, p. 25). This is because consistent monitoring eliminates the potential buildup of bad habits, stress, and people are more aware of what should be improved and mastered given the time period of learning. This can be applied directly at university; university assessment tasks are a type of self-monitoring as the student is assessed consistently of their understanding of the topics.
Bercher (2012, p.29) discusses that most students that received consistent feedback performed better academically than those that did not and it “impacted their test preparation very much”.
Another study conducted by Azevedo (2008 p.56, 45-72) assumes that “having control over what information to study or what tasks to work on is not effective for novices’ self-regulated
