The Group.

The Group.

Friends spend a lot of time in interviews. We talk about themselves, but with a great pleasure to others (gossip). We share a great number of

information. We form our views, positions, claiming his reputation. Friends

often form the open group, trying to bring to the company popular in the

among humans. In groups of friends formed a structure that reflects

especially the relationships and social status of each member. The situation in this group depends not only on the subordination of group norms and implementation of group values, but also on personal traits manifested in behavior. "Stars"

friendship groups - as a rule, are located to the other, providing

support leaders who care about the mental comfort of the group.

Working Groups

People work in teams, which is related to the implementation of large and complex assignments. The nature of the tasks often establishes communication between people, "Determining the relationship of their rights and responsibilities, how often they meet with each other. Developed here and informal communication. In the breaks between the work we gossip, shutim support or pursue one another. This is our informal system affects the quality of our work. Good relationships facilitate professional collaboration. In the low cohesion of the working group co-operation is virtually non-existent, but it is possible to observe the frequent absenteeism and high staff turnover.

. To achieve maximum productivity and maximum satisfaction from it, the size of the working group should not exceed 15 people. Cohesive group to be high, and differences in status irrelevant. Monitoring Group should not be restrictive. It is best to operate such groups, which can be defined as a flexible (varying depending on the work performed) and autonomous (by organizing the labor process).

Group, jointly conducting free time.

Most of us take part in some recreational groups: we do sports, dance, sing, cultivate gardens, etc. Each group has certain characteristics (of the field activities, by age, sex, social status). Activities Group determines the nature of interpersonal relationships in it. This character can be more or less intimate, competitive, or extravagant. Meetings of the group have a natural rhythm. They differ from the friendships that their members are focused on individual activities (tennis, horse riding, dancing or swimming ...) or on a certain amount of belief (religion, politics ...). Their actions and emotions are common to them and very important. In these groups, friendships deeper and more stable.

These groups are open and positive attitude towards other groups. They tend to unite for the sake of common interest to them more important than the differences (such as age, social status ...). This force contributes to human development in a certain area.

Exercise 2. The friendly team against hobbisticheskih

Attention, attention! It starts with a match (soccer, boxing?) Between the well-known friendship groups and persons involved in the time together. Let's call them hobbisticheskimi.

Please continue ... Play in the match commentator, you have to imagine. The proposed game would help find the pros and cons of belonging to groups of both species. Try to define its position on this issue, but also takes into account the arguments of the opposing party. Try to be neutral observers and commentators. Could make a good entertainment.

A good option for this game can become a working discussion to which you and your companion, slightly factitious, try to convince each other to participate in this type of group. I wish you good fun! Are the results of the game to your personal views on this subject?

Apart from the useful to us the consequences of belonging to different social groups Memory there are a number of negative, hampering our operations. This, in particular, group filtering information. Group norms (standards), remove the differences, leading to equalization of attitudes, beliefs or actions of members of the group.

Of particular importance in groups is conformism. He needed them, because:

helps to realize group goals;

strengthens the group;

helps the team members to take the correct (in terms of the group) solutions.

Group norms - it is the most powerful filter in the mechanism of conformism Another filter is the group goal.

Objective to evaluate incoming information as contributing to its realization.

Individual and group goals are in a certain relationship, which also affects the evaluation of information received.

The objectives of the group influence the motivation of the individual, depending on which selection information may occur in different ways.

Features of the structure of the group - is also a filter of information not only about the social, but also on physical processes. The higher the human condition in a group, the greater the variety of information available to them, and the stronger its impact on others. The higher the position in the power structure, the more satisfaction people get from participating in the group, the greater his efforts to strengthen this structure and its position in it. The lower the rank, the stronger the desire to destroy this structure. In this case, there is a desire to send a message to members of parent groups and the hope (often wrongly) for their positive attitude to these reports. The lower the rank, the greater the desire to imitate the parent.

An interesting correlation has been established by R. Zillerom in the study of the crews of aircraft. It was noted that if the first assessment of the situation to make people

holding the highest position in the power structure (eg, commander), the remaining members of the crew were almost agreed with him, without a thorough analysis of the situation.

If initially there were ordinary members of the crew, the views were not

unanimously, but the overall score more in line with the actual state of affairs.

A group of filtering information, we have already mentioned in the fifth journal.

The negative impact of the group in making effective decisions is reflected in the so-called syndrome of group thinking. I think you noticed that some

solutions are the leaders ... untested, rash, immoral, impeding the realization of the objectives. This is most likely due to the fact that these groups are comprised of incompetent people, poor targeting of the situation, unready, not to say ... fools. They just need to replace the people smart, thoughtful, worthy of respect. However, it turns out that such groups.HYPNOSIS
