NAME: MELANIE E.

AMANDORON SUBJECT: CONTEMPORARY WORLD


COURSE & YEAR: BStechM II-1
ACTIVITY A
Evaluate whether the following settings can be considered a group according to the
characteristics discussed: form of interaction, perception of memberships, and
interdependence.
1. The people in the market.
2. The general assembly of the graduate students
3. The regular meeting of the Math club
4. People inside a movie house
5. The Reunion of class 1983
6. People at the concert of Thalia
7. Passengers of Flight 143 for Manila
8. The jury
9. The senate
10. A senior class at UP
ACTIVITY B
Give 3 situations that prove the social facilitation phenomenon and another 3 that show
social loafing phenomenon.
Examples of situations on Social facilitation:
1. A team of workers addressing management during a presentation. Less confident
workers will usually make mistakes and perform at a much lesser standard than their
true capabilities. However, confident people who are knowledgeable about their subject
matter are likely to produce a wonderful performance.
2. You were fairly self-assured and didn't need to pay much attention or focus when you
were asked to solve an easy problem on the board in front of your classmates and the
teacher. You completed the task successfully and perhaps faster than necessary. In this
case, you did better.
3. You undoubtedly were anxious to step up and approach the board in your class when
you were asked to complete a challenging problem on the board in front of other
students and the teacher because you were worried you may make a mistake. You
nevertheless succeeded in mobilizing all you might to do so.
Two things bothered you when you got to the board:
 How can this difficult issue be resolved?
 What will happen if I can't figure it out? What kind of an impact would it have on
the pupils and the teachers? What if they make fun of my ignorance?
Your thoughts were now split between the complicated issue and the other people's
presence. You became anxious as a result, paying less attention to the fundamental
problem. As a result, you didn't do as well as you could have if you'd had someone's entire
attention.
Examples of situation on Social loafing phenomenon:
1. Have you ever seen an artist encourage the crowd to applaud when they are at a
concert? Well, isn't that such a common sight? But more often than not, the performer
remarks, "That wasn't loud enough," when the audience applauds. The audience
expected others to clap louder, therefore they made less of an effort as a group.
2. You must have taken part in group projects or studies when you were a kid. You must
remember that some pupils used to refrain from contributing. They do so because they
anticipate the other students to finish the work.
3. In restaurants with few patrons, some servers choose to simply stand by and let the
others handle the workload. Because they are aware that their coworkers will cover for
them and serve the clients while they rest, they give in to their laziness.

ACTIVITY C
Give 3 examples of activities that your class can undertake to illustrate the various group
processes discussed.
Examples:
1. An ice-breaker activity is an activity that is used to help students meet and get to know
each other. These activities could be anything that involves talking to other people or
teamwork like sports and games or perhaps just having people sit in a circle and talk.
2. As Teachers, Students- In this kind of educational activity, students prepare a real lesson
that is assigned to them and instruct their peers. In other words, pupils act as teachers.
To get the class more engaged, they can pose questions to other students. The lesson
must be delivered confidently and actively, using hand gestures.
3. Class discussions encourage critical thinking and evaluation. Allowing ample time for
students to respond makes them active and confident with their points. To make the
discussion more effective as well as active, evidence could be asked. It is an easy as well
and effective learning activity. The teacher is passive here while the students are wholly
active.
ACTIVITY D
Identify whether the action/behavior falls under a collectivistic orientation or individualistic
orientation.
1. I have to proceed to the course which enhances my family’s image and reputation.
COLLECTIVISTIC ORIENTATION
2. I am of age, financially stable, and have to live my own life. INDIVIDUALISTIC
ORIENTATION
3. I like to live close to my friends. COLLECTIVISTIC ORIENTATION
4. I enjoy talking to my neighbors very often. COLLECTIVISTIC ORIENTATION
5. I can celebrate my birthday alone. INDIVIDUALISTIC ORIENTATION
6. I value my personal things and don’t want to loan them to friends. INDIVIDUALISTIC
ORIENTATION
7. I feel secure living in the same compound with my relatives. COLLECTIVISTIC
ORIENTATION
8. I like group study sessions. COLLECTIVISTIC ORIENTATION
9. I perform better when I am alone studying. INDIVIDUALISTIC ORIENTATION
10. I like living separately in my own condo. INDIVIDUALISTIC ORIENTATION
SAQ A
1. How does culture affect social psychological processes?
2. Identify the interpersonal relational model dominant in the following statements:
A. ON CONTRIBUTION
1. Everyone gives what they have, without keeping track of what others contribute.
2. Superiors give generously.
3. Contributors match each other’s donations equally.
4. People are assessed according to a fixed ration or percentage.
B. ON DECISION MAKING
1. Rational/Cost-benefit analysis is the basis for decision.
2. The will of the leader is transmitted through chain of command.
3. In votation each one has a say.
4. In consensus-seeking, what the group decides will be implemented.
SAQ B
1. Explain the definition of a group in your own words.
A group is any collection of individuals who organize themselves to act or work toward the
same goals or interests. Therefore, a group is a collection of individuals, entities, or objects
that are regarded as a unit because they share a characteristic.
2. Define each of the following processes by which groups solve problems and reach
decisions:
A.) Brainstorming
A technique called brainstorming is used to develop ideas in groups. Members of the group
are asked to provide as many ideas as they can. Groups must come up with potential
answers to their challenge before they can decide. Though most people don't adhere to the
advised steps of brainstorming, it is the strategy that is employed the most frequently.
Remember that brainstorming is the process of quickly coming up with ideas without
judgment. For the technique to be effective, four guidelines must be adhered to: evaluation
of ideas is prohibited; insane and shocking ideas are encouraged; quantity of ideas, not
quality, is the goal; and innovative ways of presenting ideas are encouraged. Do a warm-up
brainstorming session, the actual brainstorming session, eliminate duplicate ideas, and
clarify, organize, and analyze ideas to make brainstorming more of a decision-making
approach than an idea-generating one.
B.) Group membership
Group memberships depends on more than the ability and skills of the individual members.

C.) Group thinks


Group of thinks is a type of thinking in which group members. Share a strong motivation to
achieve consensus that they lose.
