Theoretical Models of Group Dynamics

Theoretical models of group dynamics describe how individuals behave and interact within a group. They explain processes like how groups form, develop roles, make decisions, resolve conflicts, and achieve goals. These models often include stages such as forming (getting to know each other), storming (conflict and disagreement), norming (establishing rules), performing (working effectively), and adjourning (disbanding). They help us understand factors influencing collaboration and leadership, emphasizing that group behavior is shaped by individual personalities, group structure, communication patterns, and shared objectives. This understanding aids in improving teamwork and group success across various settings.
