Group dynamic
Group dynamics refers to the behaviors and psychological processes within and between social groups. A group is defined as a number of individuals who join together to achieve a goal that they cannot achieve alone. Group dynamics studies the structure, development, and interactions of groups. There are several theories that attempt to explain why and how groups develop, such as the classic theory of common activities and interactions leading to relationships, the social exchange theory of mutually beneficial relationships, and social identity theory where individuals derive self-esteem and identity from their group membership. Key elements of group dynamics include communication, decision making, influence, relationships, and roles among group members.
