TAILIEUCHUNG - Lecture A systems approach to small group interaction (8/e): Chapter 1 - Stewart L. Tubbs

Chapter 1 - What is small group interaction? This chapter lays the groundwork for the rest of the book. It begins with a definition of small group interaction. It includes a section that explains why studying small groups is useful and a section on empowerment. Chapter 1 also introduces systems theory along with a general systems model. | What is Small Group Interaction? What is Small Group Interaction? Glossary Case Study A Definition Empowerment A Conceptual Orientation for Small Groups The Systems Approach Glossary Cycles—characterized by the results of group interaction being fed back to the group and becoming input for future interactions. For example, a team’s success adds strength to the group’s cohesion in future activities. Differentiation—the specialization that occurs among people in small group communication. Dynamic Equilibrium—reached at a point at which the forces to change and the forces to resist change are equal. Empowerment—a leadership style that enables group members to utilize their talents, abilities, and knowledge more effectively. Glossary Equifinality—the potential for adaptation that groups possess. This allows for various possible approaches to achieve a goal. Feedback—information groups receive and use to modify themselves. Input—the raw material of small group interaction. It includes the six relevant background factors: personality, gender, age, health, attitudes, and values. It also includes information the group receives from outside the group. Integration—in small group communication, integration is synonymous with organization. It is the coordination of the various parts of the group. Glossary Negative Entropy—entropy is characterized by all systems moving toward disorganization or death. Negative entropies are the forces that maintain the organization of a system. Output—includes solutions, interpersonal relations, improved information flow, risk taking, intrapersonal growth, and organization change. It is sometimes called the end result of group interaction. Throughput—refers to all the actual verbal and nonverbal behaviors that occur in the course of a group discussion. Glossary Virtual Teams—teams in which members communicate with each other through computers and may or may not be located near one another. Case Study “Let’s Roll” 1. What does this case study .
