Excerpt from Group Dynamics: Principles and Applications
This book offers a comprehensive treatment of the dynamics of small - group behavior. It is designed as a textbook for college students and for professional reading by psychologists, social scientists, teachers, and personnel managers.
As the subtitle indicates, we are concerned with both theory and empirical example. Accordingly, we offer first a systematic presentation of those aspects of group behavior which have come to comprise the central subject matter of group dynamics; namely group structure, group cohesiveness, intergroup tensions, group learning, group problem - solving, and group leadership. Having laid down this theoretical framework, we then trace its important emergent applications to the vital areas of industry, community relations, political behavior, group psychotherapy, and education. Although the applications of group dynamics to education have received much attention in the past decade, writers in the field of group dynamics have not made an explicit and systematic analysis of these other areas. Of particular interest here is the subject of group psychotherapy and personality dynamics - topics of especial importance to an understanding of the formation and enhancement of groups, group tensions and conflicts, mutual dependence, group change, and the ebb and flow of the interpersonal process.
The book is divided into five parts.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thorough analysis of the dynamics of small-group behavior. It is not only a textbook but also a professional read for psychologists and social scientists, teachers, and personnel managers. The author presents a systematic exposition of group behavior, examining the psychological structure of the group with particular reference to its individual and collective properties. The cohesive and disruptive factors in group behavior are described, with special consideration given to interpersonal and group attractiveness and the psychology of hostile relations. The author explores group behavior in light of learning theory, and investigates the relative merits of individual and group learning. The problems of conflict and adjustment of groups, and their theoretical and practical solutions, are examined with empathy yet critically. The final section of the book delves into the role of the person in the group, particularly the relation of individual behavior and group dynamics. The dynamics of group behavior are a valid scientific discipline, according to the author, with valuable applications for the study and enhancement of human relations.
