Theories of Group Formation

The video discusses various theories of group formation, including propinquity theory, which emphasizes physical proximity; Homan's interaction theory, which focuses on interaction and shared activities; balance theory, which highlights common goals and objectives; and exchange theory, which considers the cost-benefit analysis of forming groups. Each theory provides a different perspective on how and why individuals come together to form groups.
