behavior of groups

Groups are collections of individuals who interact and influence one another, sharing common goals or interests. Their behavior emerges from social dynamics, such as communication, roles, and norms, which shape how members act. Groups tend to develop patterns—like cooperation, conformity, or conflict—based on relationships, leadership, and external pressures. These behaviors help the group function effectively or sometimes lead to challenges. Understanding group behavior involves recognizing how individual actions are influenced by the group's context, shaping collective outcomes and decision-making processes.
