Group Structure

The video tutorial explores the dynamics of group formation, highlighting how groups are bound by formal and informal processes. It delves into structural elements like rules, norms, and conformity, and discusses the roles and status systems within groups. The impact of group size on dynamics and interaction is examined, along with the concept of cohesiveness and collective identity among group members.

What are the initial structural elements that characterize a group?

• Goals and objectives

• Rules and norms

• Tasks and activities

• Roles and responsibilities

How do individuals typically conform within a group?

• By following personal preferences

• By ignoring group expectations

• By challenging the status quo

• By adhering to common expectations and norms

What determines the status system within a group?

• The group's objectives

• The group's location

• The group's size

• The roles individuals gravitate towards

How does group size affect the dynamics of a group?

• Smaller groups tend to be more cohesive

• Smaller groups have weaker bonds

• Larger groups have stronger bonds

• Group size has no impact on dynamics

What is cohesiveness in the context of a group?

• The diversity of a group

• The extent to which members are dedicated to each other

• The number of members in a group

• The group's ability to achieve its goals
