SOCIAL WORK METHODS II (WORKING WITH GROUPS)

100%

SOCIAL WORK METHODS TWO (WORKING WITH GROUPS)

GROUP

o Consisting of two or more individuals at least o Combined with the same goals or passions o Has a social, emotional, and cognitive exchange in a single or multiple interactions.

o These interactions are enough to allow the participants to develop impressions of one another, establish standards for how they should work together, set objectives for their collective authority, and strengthen their sense of unity so that they perceive themselves and each other as a unique entity separate from all other collectivities.

o Example: family, friends, workgroup, hobby groups, treatment groups o A mere gathering of people does not constitute a group.

o Aggregate - a straightforward gathering of individuals who are in the same place and are typically influenced by one another, without a strong connection or meaningful contact; they may even share some traits, but they are not formally structured.

GROUP DYNAMICS.

o A set of actions and mental processes that take place either within or between social groupings (intra-group dynamics and intergroup dynamics, respectively).

o The study of how people behave in groups, including how they join and interact with other group members.

o In nineteen forty-seven, Kurt Lewin first used the phrase "group dynamics." He defined this idea as how people behave and respond in response to shifting conditions, both as a collective and as individuals.
