The Story Continues.............................................................................

Group Dynamics or Group Processing

Group dynamics is the study of groups, and also a general term for group processes. Relevant to the fields of psychology, sociology, and communication studies, a group is two or more individuals who are connected to each other by social relationships. [Forsyth, D.R. (2006) "Group Dynamics"] Because they interact and influence each other, groups develop a number of dynamic processes that separate them from a random collection of individuals. These processes include norms, roles, relations, development, need to belong, social influence, and effects on behavior. The field of group dynamics is primarily concerned with small group behavior. Groups may be classified as aggregate, primary, secondary and category groups.

In organizational development (OD), or group dynamics, the phrase "group process" refers to the understanding of the behavior of people in groups, such as task groups, that are trying to solve a problem or make a decision. An individual with expertise in 'group process, such as a trained facilitator, can assist a group in accomplishing its objective by diagnosing how well the group is functioning as a problem-solving or decision-making entity and intervening to alter the group's operating behavior.

Because people gather in groups for reasons other than task accomplishment, group process occurs in other types of groups such as personal growth groups (e.g. encounter groups, study groups, prayer groups). In such cases, an individual with expertise in group process can be helpful in the role of facilitator.

Well researched but rarely mentioned by professional group workers, is the social status of people within the group ( (i.e., senior or junior). The group leader (or facilitator) will usually have a strong influence on the group due to his or her role of shaping the group's outcomes. This influence will also be affected by the leader's sex, race, relative age, income, appearance, and personality, as well as organizational structures and many other factors.

OK. That's the official take on group Dynamics. If you are company or any body of folks that are trying to accomplish a goal or a task by doing so in a group it is a slice of group dynamics. Our groups in school were sometimes led by a Facilitator. In the next part of the story, I'll talk about them in detail. Facilitators can handle many kinds of tasks.

The way we introduced group processing was to gather a group of people to solve a problem. The very first thing we did was give a group a task to solve. Mainly the first session was an ice breaker to get the group to interact with each other.
There can be many groups working on the same problem and then talk about how each group solved the problem after it was over.

OK. We would gather a group together and had them printed paper explaining what must be done.
Actually in their first group session we handed them both a written instruction sheet and a box containing a task to accomplish.

It went something like this:

Your first task is to elect a leader. Once this is accomplished open your box and start working on the task as per the instructions inside.

The Instructions inside the box also listed what was in the box.


A pair of scissors
18 rubber bands of different sizes.
A roll of string
6 Balloons.
Scotch tape.
4 8 x10 pieces of card stock.
16 paper clips of assorted sizes
2 rubber insoles for a pair of size 9 men's shoes.
8 chopsticks
1 Fresh egg

Your task is to create something that will allow you to drop the egg from a height of 4 feet and not break the egg. You can also make secondary items out of what is left, which will give your project more value. You have one hour from now to finish this task.

The day we did this first group task, all groups that were left did the same task.

Usually two members of our staff walked in and out of the groups to observe "What and how things were getting done."

I'll stop here and let you think of what went on in the groups and how they did their tasks

Ok...so here is what I made.

I took the 6 balloons and cut them in half to have them look like this ( 8 )

then with the Scotch tape I taped them together like this 888888

I then used the 8 chopsticks and the string to make a tent

I then took the scissors to cut up a hit of the Kandy Kush and forgot what I was making...so I cooked the eggs.

Do I pass?

That's why I call him Nephew.....he needs guidance! :Love:

Seriously, Sisco has never been the same since the tree fell on his house a few years back. Would have scared me silly too! A side effect was that he loses cameras.....some not even his.

No one is as funny as him.......a great comic mind! :high-five:

Thank You Sisco!

Hi OMM,

Nice update and story...the girls look really good, even chocolope. It's probably a good thing you two decided not to flush her...don't need any hurt backs, can't imagine hauling 33 gallons in and out of that tent. :rofl: When will you cut her? I'm surprised about the EJ...only 16 grams? that plant was huge. The moby dick sure looks good. Great grow OMM, love the story too.

Say Hi to Jo, hope she's still feeling good...and glad to hear the meds are working for you.

:passitleft:

Hi there sqwheels !:Love:
Yep, the Chocolope is looking good again. We just couldn't bring ourselves to flush her. Too much work! As it turned out she kind of took care of her self and is doing well. I am returning to my old ways in harvesting this time. Going to wait for more amber to form in her. In fact all of them. I got away from that and haven't liked the results. Come on amber!

Yep, only 16 grams, but a very good 16. I have no idea what happened to her. This next grow I am going back to what worked best for me in the past. Enough experimenting! :Namaste:

The Moby. All of a sudden she has new buds forming and much new growth...this has been one strange grow. I have never seen this kind of behavior.....but I'm liking it. :grinjoint:

Glad you like the story....will try to post more of it tonight. Really like your new grow. :thumb:

Did something like this a long time ago in high school. Those devices in which their egg had broken, were referred to as 'Omelet Makers'!

Hello there jandre2k3.:Namaste:

Most of them were "Omelet Makers", of course that wasn't the point of the whole thing. It was how the group handled the task. Interesting stuff. :high-five:
