Assignment Content

Top of Form
Unfortunately, groups can wind up being less, rather
than more, than the sum of their parts. Why is this?

Imagine a local
company has contacted you regarding how they use and implement teams within the
workplace.

Include the topics
and models covered in the readings: crowding, evaluation apprehension, social
loafing, groupthink, group polarization, social pressure, and minority
influence.

Create a 10- to
18-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint®, research-based presentation to help the
company understand the various benefits and pitfalls of team- or group-based
work.

Address the
following in your presentation:

Discuss research findings on the
various dynamics of groups of people working together.
Each slide should list the model or
theory addressed and a scenario to help the organization grasp the key
concepts as well as advice on how to overcome the negative effects.
Translate the research results into
everyday terms, as your audience will be people unfamiliar with
psychological jargon.

Include a minimum of 3 credible,
peer-reviewed resources in your presentation.
