4. CONCEPT OF GROUP DYNAMIC
It was founded by Kurt Lewin to study group decision , group
Productivity, group interaction, group cohesiveness and group communication. The
underlying assumption was that the laws of the group behaviour can be estabilished
independently of the goals or specific activities of the group irrespective of the
structure of the group.
Group dynamics contains two terms : group and dynamics. Group is
basically a collectivity of two or more persons. Dynamics comes from greek words
meaning FORCE.
Thus, “Group dynamics is concerned with the interaction of forces among
group members in a social situation.”

5. DEFINITION
Group dynamis refers to a system of
behaviour and psychological processes
occurring within a social group or
between social group.

10. GROUP STRUCTURE
Four different aspects of group structure are:
1.Norms
2.Roles
3.Status
4.Cohesiveness

11. 1) NORMS
Set of beleifs, feelings, and attitudes commonly shared by group members. These are also
referred to as rules or standards of behaviour that apply to group members. Norms serve
three functions namely
Predictive -basis for
understanding the
behaviour of others
Relational -some
norms define
relationships
Control -regulate
the behaviour of
others

12. 2) ROLE
There are two elements that define this role identity-
Role perception – An individual is expected to behave according to
his own perception in the group.
Role expectation – It is defined as how others believe one should
behave in a given situation.

13. 3) STATUS
Status is “a socially defined position or rank given to groups or group
members by others.” group members get high status or low status in the
group based on their authority and performance.
High status members of the group have more freedom to deviate
from the norms. This facility enables them to have the discriminatory
powers in decision making. Low status members of the group should
not have freedom to deviate from the norms as it leads to status
inequality.

attraction that link group
