setting the stage for problem solving
cohesiveness
Def:
The totality of forces that causes members to feel themselves a part of as group and makes them want to remain in that group
textbook ex:
Members spend more time interacting and there are more expressions of positive feelings for one another / think of cohesiveness as the glue that bonds individuals together giving them a collective sense of identity
own ex:
At my job I feel like I am part of the group rather than just a simple employee. My boss makes us interact, bond and express how we feel towards each other and even though we all have a specific role we still interact as a group
orientation stage
Def:
When group members become familiar with on another positions and tentatively volunteer their own
Textbook ex:
Group members test possible ideas cautiously and with respect rather than state their own position
Own ex:
At my job I tend to listen to my coworker's ideas about a project and then after listening to all the ideas I present my own idea to see what they think instead of rushing to present my own idea
conflict stage
Def:
When group members openly defend their positions and questions those of others
Textbook ex:
Members focus on the issues at hand while remaining respectful
Own ex:
In a group discussion my classmates didn't agree with one of the student's opinions and questioned their reasoning for their opinion while remaining respectful
emergence stage
Def:
When a group moves from conflict towards a single solution
Textbook ex:
Members back off their dogmatic positions by stating "I guess that's a pretty good idea" and "I can see why you think that way
Own ex:
While working in a group project our group members started to listen to an opposing idea and decided it was actually a good idea to go with
reinforcement stage
Def:
When group members endorse the decision they have made
Textbook ex:
If a member disagrees with the outcome they do not voice their concern. There is an unspoken drive toward consensus and harmony
Own ex:
In the past working in group projects I have disagreed with a decision my group made but I didn't voice my opinion to not create conflict and delay the group work
