    LESSON 13-14: GROUP PROCESS IN SOCIAL WORK


    In 3-5 sentences, describe your experiences as a member of a group in the context of
    the six (6) different group processes. (30 points)
    COMFORMITY

    My experience while I am in the group, I've observed that conformity


    happens because members are required to follow certain rules and fulfill certain
    duties. I occasionally conform sincerely and infrequently conform expediently. I
    give everything I have during organizational activities, especially if I am a
    committee member. On the other hand, when the Governor has coercive
    authority over a particular issue and I am powerless to deny, I turn into an
    expedient conformer.
    COMPETITION AND COOPERATION
    I experienced both competition and cooperation in our classroom as a
    member of the arts and sciences program during my first year of college. There is
    competition in a class, especially when everyone is motivated to win prizes.
    However, there is so much unhealthy competition among the students that they
    are unable to feel sympathy for others. While there is competition, there is also
    cooperation, particularly when carrying out a class project and choosing a crucial
    issue that affects everyone.
    DECISION-MAKING
    Every task and activity in our long-term plan have been discussed in a series
    of group meetings in order to get input from the officers and members. All
    decisions regarding activities are made by officers in our group. The absence of
    other members becomes problematic when a decision must be made quickly
    because it is necessary to consider their opinions.
    GROUPTHINK
    Groupthink happens when members of the group persuasively express
    their ideas, making it difficult for others to disagree without feeling excluded.
    Normally, we just go along with things to avoid conflict and further discussion.
    Groupthink is harmful because people just follow because they have no other
    option, which makes them lose interest in actively participating.
    CONFLICT
    As a group officer, I've witnessed arguments start when different people's
    opinions and feelings conflict. For instance, some people are overly relaxed when
    something like general cleaning or work is going on, while others are strict with
    their duties, and still others just go with the flow.
    GROUP COHESIVENESS
    This happens when students are grouped together in the classroom; I have
    seen instances of low cohesiveness or cohesion on a poor scale. Obviously, we
    lack the power to decide who will be in our group. We stayed together because of
    this. However, some team members put in a lot of effort to finish their
    assignments, while others only speak up once the tasks are nearly finished.
