In- and Out-Groups01:31

In- and Out-Groups

39.8K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

27.1K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

35.3K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

35.8K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.4K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

45.2K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Group cohesion is vital for team success but understudied in collaborative learning.
  • Little is known about how cohesion dynamically emerges from group interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of interaffectivity in the emergence and maintenance of group cohesion.
  • To examine how embodied actions contribute to cohesion in collaborative science activities.

Main Methods:

  • An illustrative case analysis using an embodied perspective.
  • Fine-grained analysis of micro-level behaviors and macro-temporal patterns.

Main Results:

  • Group cohesion unfolds through ephemeral micro-behaviors and embodied interaffectivity.
  • Participants co-created collaborative affordances using space, artifacts, and corporeal orientation.
  • Task-related humor can build cohesion but requires careful modulation.
  • Interpersonal attentiveness is crucial for developing and maintaining cohesion.

Conclusions:

  • Collaborative learning involves orienting to and understanding tasks through mutual interaction.
  • An embodiment lens reveals how micro-level attentiveness facilitates group orientation and reorientation.
  • Positive embodied interaffectivity is key to sustained group cohesion in collaborative science.
