There were 12 members in my LAPD group presentation including myself. It was my first time having to work with people that I have just met to produce a 50-minute presentation. Before forming a group, I was worried as we are to work in big groups and group size is one of the main factors that may affect a group performance. At first, I felt like we could not delegate our roles equally, as I had past experiences of doing most of the group work. However, during the first workshop, our tutor gave…

Skill The use of group intervention by occupational therapists under a cognitive behavioural framework. Group intervention Group intervention started in the early 20th century and continued development during the 1950’s due to an increased demand for therapists after the war (Weiten, 2007). The purpose of using group intervention is two-fold. The first is to provide a therapeutic service to several clients at a time. The second is to use the group itself as a therapeutic benefit for clients…

1. A. One instance of how minority group to dominant group’s response pattern of acceptance was portrayed was when the cops pulled Terrence Howards and his TV wife over and one of the cops began to molest his wife. The couple had done nothing wrong, but the cop pulled them over anyhow because “they are up to something”. When he threatens to arrest the couple, and begins to “search” the wife for weapons he asks Howard what we can do about the situation. He can either apologize for his and his…

Size of the Group A group on aging should have anywhere from eight to twelve people (Corey, 2010). This is a manageable size for group leaders and is small enough to facilitate discussion between members. Additionally, it would be ideal if the group could meet once a week. The group itself, as stated earlier, would likely take place in a nursing or retirement home for the sake of convenience for residents without a car. The added benefit to this is that those who are confined to a retirement…

every community sector, there are groups that provide support / services for members who come from different background and cultures that have their own values, beliefs, and attitudes (Office of multicultural Interest, 2014). As community workers, we need to accept that not all members are the same and some members of the group may live a lifestyle that mainstream society views as being different and unacceptable. Encouraging culture competence within the group could enhance member’s knowledge…

to the realistic group conflict theory, individuals who are competing for the same resources are going to exhibit increased levels of intergroup conflict. This intergroup conflict influences individuals to feel solidarity for members of their own group, but results with increasing negative attitudes towards individuals of other competing groups (Kenrick, Neuberg, & Cialdini, 2010). In-group bias is the tendency to benefit members of one’s own groups over members of other groups (Kenrick, Neuberg…

In today’s world, groups are an integrated part of any organization. Indeed, individuals in the workplace are often thrown together as a group to achieve certain goals. Summers et al (1988) affirmed that “in general, cohesion promotes productivity.” Yet, out of all the characteristics considered to make a group, cohesion is perhaps the most debatable as to its relationship with effectiveness, a motor for productivity and group success. Perhaps the clearest definition interprets cohesion as “a…
