Group processes

DEMONSTRATE KNOWLEDGE OF GROUP PROCESSES FRANCESCO GARINO 05 JUNE 2015 14074984B ANIKA VATS TABLE OF CONTENTS TASK 1 2 TASK 2 4 Introduction 4 Group processes and their effect on group function 4 Conclusion 7 TASK 3 8 TASK 1 1. Describe two situations where working in group is appropriate and inappropriate. a. Appropriate Example Explanation The task assigned is complex and involves different topics. Working in group is appropriate because each member can analyse one particular topic without interfering with the others. The task assigned has a short time limit to be completed. Working in group is appropriate because, by equally dividing the work among the members, the task will be completed quicker than…

Group Processes and Function The personality of the group I led is difficult to determine due to many distinctive personalities present. The group shared a common goal of working to discover a new normal within their lives and processing grief on a daily basis. This common goal led to cohesive group mentality and the assurance that one could speak freely within the group. Sharing a common thread and a difficulty with one another allowed members to be comfortable with one another at an earlier…

numerous group processes that are likely to influence bullies and bullying behavior. People join groups for a sense of belonging. In each group there is a level of cohesiveness, a set of norms and different roles for people to play (Kassin, Fein, & Markus, 2014). Each group usually has a leader. If the leader happens to be a bully, the norm of the group might be to bully others. The leader might pressure others to conform to his bullying ways and it is quite possible that he will use bullying…

issues relating to group roles, responsibilities and tasks will need to be addressed. Controversial opinions will test the patience of some group members. Small clashes of opinion will come about but will be swiftly resolved or ignored. Some members will be happy to start moving through task-related issues, but some will try to stay in the comfort and ease of the forming stage. The severity of conflicts will depend on the organisation’s culture. Members may look to implement rules and clarify…

Often, researchers choose outcome measures that strike a compromise between reliability, ease of administration, and predictive reliability. Essentially, scientific experiments, such as the RBANS, are designed to be swift and trusty, but they are not necessarily sensitive to specific memory processes. Such measures might underestimate the efficacy of an intervention that specifically marking particular aspects of memory. Remarkably, researchers are currently accommodating paradigms from basic…

This is seen in Figure 1, as the experimental groups average percentage of words correctly recalled (58.9%), is considerably lower than that of the control group (84.4%). These results suggest that the similarity of information can affect interference, a theory which is supported by the research of Osgood, as well as the studies of Runquist, Pullyblank, and Whyte. This effect may be a result of new memories superseding those that were previously stored, thus being recalled in place of the…

input signals model the post synaptic potentials. input signal’s strength depends on the strength of output signal from the sending unit combined multiplicatively with the in between connection units strength. This is considered as the connection weight. Connection weights can range from positive to negative i.e, excitatory PSP in the neuron to an inhibitory PSP.The weights vary in magnitude to model the synaptic plasticity in real neurons where learning due to experience can result in…

The processes involved in emotion regulation and working memory have recently been explored. Although there is extensive research on emotion regulation and working memory, few studies have examined the relationship. Emotion regulation is based on several factors, such as valence bias, the tendency to perceive information as negative or positive, and trait-like factors. Despite consistent latency for valence bias, studies have considered the role of reaction time for categorizing valences of…

Both stage 1 and 2 tests were conducted thrice. Linges scored 40/40 on the first stage by reading out all 40 words correctly in an average of 30.05 seconds. However, the results for the 2nd stage differed enormously. On average he scored 26/40 and the time taken was 55.40 seconds. Linges’s attention was fairly good based on the test and the reaction time increased when the difficulty of the task increased. However, there was not much difference in the number of correct words. This can be related…

retrieval-induced forgetting. One such possibility is the "cognitive interview" developed by Geiselman and Fisher (Fisher, Geiselman, & Amador, 1989; Geiselman, Fisher, MacKinnon, & Holland, 1985). Because one of the primary goals of the cognitive interview is to encourage witnesses to use a variety of retrieval routes in their memory search, the retrieval variability afforded by such a technique, may limit the amount of retrieval-induced forgetting that occurs. Even when the cognitive interview…
