Group Influence
This required Portfolio assignment due in Week Four will give
you experience observing and interacting with people outside of
the classroom. It has been designed to provide you with the
opportunity to develop skills, synthesize knowledge, and
integrate learning in a real world setting. This assignment
accomplishes that goal by challenging you to:
· Observe a group discussing a topic of interest such as a focus
group, a community public assembly, a department meeting at
your workplace, or local support group
· Study how the group members interact and impact one another
· Analyze how the group behaviors and communication patterns
influence social facilitation
· Integrate your findings with evidence-based literature from
journal articles, textbook, and additional scholarly sources
Purpose: To provide you with an opportunity to experience a
group setting and analyze how the presence of others
substantially influences the behaviors of its members through
social facilitation.
Process: You will participate as a guest at an interest group
meeting in your community to gather data for a qualitative
research paper. Once you have located an interest group, contact
stakeholders and explain the purpose of your inquiry. After you
receive permission to participate, you will schedule a date to
attend the meeting; at which time you will observe the members
and document the following for your analysis:
Part I
· How were the people arranged in the physical environment
(layout of room and seating arrangement)?
· What is the composition of the group, in terms of number of
people, ages, sex, ethnicity, etc.?
· What are the group purpose, mission, and goals?
· What is the duration of the group (short, long-term)? Explain.
· Did the group structure its discussion around an agenda,
program, rules of order, etc.?
· Describe the structure of the group. How is the group
organized?
· Who are the primary facilitators of the group?
· What subject or issues did the group members examine during
the meeting?
· What types of information did members exchange in their
group?
· What were the group's norms, roles, status hierarchy, or
communication patterns?
· What communication patterns illustrated if the group was
unified or fragmented? Explain.
· Did the members share a sense of identity with one another
(characteristics of the group-similarities, interests, philosophy,
etc.)?
· Was there any indication that members might be vulnerable to
Groupthink? Why or why not?
· In your opinion, how did the collective group behaviors
influence individual attitudes and the group's effectiveness?
Provide your overall analysis.
Part II
Write a 1,200- to 1,500-word paper incorporating your analysis
with evidence to substantiate your conclusion. Explain how
your observations relate to research studies on norm formation,
group norms, conformity, and/or social influence. Integrate your
findings with literature from the textbook, peer-reviewed
journal articles, and additional scholarly sources. Format your
paper consistent with APA guidelines.
