This wiki is intended to be a place for each of us to reflect on our own emotional and cognitive reactions to our interactions with each other, as a part of this group. It can also be used to reflect on other situations in your life (outside of this group) that seem to be "culture bumps" which you want to record and reflect on.

It gives us a chance to think deeper about our own expectations and reactions, as well as a chance to ask more about the perceptions in the minds of others. How do things really come across?

For this to be the most effective, it requires a high degree of vulnerable honesty, risk, introspection, and trust.

For each reflection record the following information:

1. Situation: What happened?
2. Expectations: What did you expect (if anything)?
3. Interpretation: How did you make sense of it?
4. Response: What did you do in response, and what was the result of that?
5. Questions: What do you wonder about other(s) motivations/feelings/thoughts etc?

Here are my first entries for this Reflection Room wiki:

• Impact of Individual Behavior on Group Dynamic
• Reaction to Public Situations in Finland
• What is Funny?
• Ambiguity in the development time of this research group
• Purpose of Reading and Speaking
• Others?...

I hope by the end of our three months, this will be a long list of reflections on little moments - but which reveal a great deal about what is going on below the level of our normal conciousness in ourselves and others.
