2. Group Dynamics, Cohesiveness, and Conformity

  • Group dynamics means the process by which the behavior of one member influences the behavior of other members in the group.
  • Group dynamics is affected by individual personality, social situation, and cultural traditions.

3. Us and Them, Social Facilitation, Social Loafing, Group Polarization, and Group Think

  • People often classify others into 'us' and 'them' on the basis of shared characteristics.
  • This social categorization can lead to stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination.
  • Categorization has an adaptive function because responding to every person individually would overload cognitive assessment.

4. Formal and Informal Groups and Group Development

  • Formal groups are established for a specific purpose and are formed to meet clearly defined goals.
  • Examples of formal groups include student project groups, committees, boards, and commissions.
