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.
