In this course we explore the ways in which individuals shape group processes and, in turn, how groups shape individual behaviour. We will look at the psychological functions of groups and when groups work (and when they do not) for their members. We look at the many implications of group dynamic theories for understanding the functioning of groups, teams, organizations, and communities, of which we are all members.
