GROUP PROCESS

 Group process refers to the behavior of


people in groups, such as task groups that
are trying to solve a problem or make a
decision. An idividual with experties in group
process, such as a trained facilitator, can
assist a group toward accomplishing its
objective by diagnosing how well the group
in functioning as a problem solving or
decision making entity and subsequently
intervening to alter the group's operating
bahavior.
Group process Theory
 In 1965, psychologist B. W. Tuchman
indentified four stages of group process:

1. Forming
2. Storming
3. Norming
4. Performing

Over the years, the stages have been


expandedto include transforming or
adjourning.
Stages of Group process
1. Forming- In this initial phase while teams are forming,
students will meet each other and get a fell for what they
can expect from their colleagues.
2. Storming- During this time of self categorization and
evaluation, informal tea, leaders will emerge and the team
will show signs of interpersonal conflict and the task conflict,
3. Norming- In this phase the team will establish group
norms and developing strategies to deal with future conflict.
Team leaders should encourage consensual solution, give
honest feedback on team member development, identify
ways to empower peripheral team members, and be
patient.
4. Performing- In this phase the team's purpose is coming to
an end and, as members begin to feel a sense of loss of
intimacy with each other, some may deny the group's
success, flounder, or detach from the group as bla,e and
withdrawal cause a breakdown in skills and communication.
GROUP THINK
 Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon
that occurs within a group of people in which
the desire for harmony of conformity in the
group results in an irrational or dysfunctional
decision-making outcome. Groupthink
requireas individuals to avoid raising
controversial issues or alternativesolutions,
and there is loss of individual creativity,
uniqueness and independent thinking.
Groupthink Theory
 Groupthink is the name given to a theory or model
that was extensively developed by irving janis
(1972) to describe faulty decision maling that can
occur in groups as aresult of forces that bring a
group together(group cohesion).
Benefits and Dangers
Groupthink can have some benefits. when working
with a large number of people, it often allows the
group to make decisions, and efficiently.
However, this phenomenon still has its costs. The
suppressiom of individual opinions and creative
thought can leadto poor decision making and
ineffecient problem-solving.
