Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

34.3K
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.

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

26.4K
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.

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

44.3K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us.

Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Levels of Communication II: Organizational, Public, and Group Dynamics

Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...

Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.3K
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...

    • Online Psychotherapy

    Background:

    • An international online study group was formed before the COVID-19 pandemic.
    • The group engaged in reading and discussing Bion's (1965) Transformations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the transformation of online interactions into shared emotional experiences.
    • To understand the nature of the analytic field in an online group setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of online group interactions.
    • Exploration of psychoanalytic concepts within a digital environment.

    Main Results:

    • Online participants translated digital experiences (Zoom images/voices) into a felt sense of connection.
    • Observed oscillations in group membership indicated the fluid nature of the online analytic field.

    Conclusions:

    • Digital platforms can facilitate shared emotional experiences in psychoanalytic groups.
    • The online analytic field is dialectical and constantly evolving, mirroring in-person group dynamics.
