1. Each person played a number of roles, and some roles everyone did. Fortunately, far more of the positive roles were filled than the negative roles. Played the role of the supporter/encourager. Was the harmonizer between all of us, as she was easily the most neutral and calm person among us. Tension relievers were both X and Y. Y's tension relief sometimes went so far as to stretch into the dysfunctional joker role, as well. X, Y, and Z were the gatekeepers, as they kept us on track and moving forward the most. The feeling expressers were X, Y, and me, every so often. C and V were almost always the followers. The dysfunctional roles were not used much and some not at all. X and Y were the blockers.

    For the interviews, my role was that of a known participant observer. I made my intent to conduct research very clear and asked for verbal consent. The interview took place once they agreed to spare some time for such a purpose. My questioning did not appear to have impacted any of the participants (they seemed comfortable). After the interview was finished, I assured the person that confidentiality was guaranteed. A couple individuals requested for more information in regards to my motivations for this research, but otherwise, just appeared busy. For the observation, I was an unknown participant observer. I observed the scene like a fellow shopper and pretended to browse for various items as to avoid any…

    Therapists strive to understand not just what the group members say, but how these ideas are communicated . Therapists can help families improve the way they relate and thus enhance their own capacity to deal with the content of their problems by focusing on the process of their discussions. Virginia Satir expanded on the concept of how individuals behave and communicate in groups by describing several family roles that can serve to stabilize expected characteristic behavior patterns in a family. For instance, if one child is considered as a "rebel child," a sibling may take on the role of the "good child" to alleviate some of the stress in the family. This concept of role reciprocity is helpful to understanding family dynamics because of the complementary nature of roles makes behaviors more resistant to…

    Going into this project my partner, Connor O’Brien, and I were both determined to observe students as they move through campus. We felt that this would be a beneficial thing to observe as it would provide us with a wide spectrum of students to observe. It would also give some insight into how students move across campus. After considering multiple possible locations, my partner and I decided that the best place on campus for our observations was Turlington Plaza. Turlington serves as a central hub for students as they make their way through campus, which makes it ideal for observing a wide range of personal behaviors and interactions. Due to the centrality of the plaza and the…

    We need to be aware that members will have a main role, one they represent most of the time but that their roles fluctuate and is plural. For example, Genevieve is most of the time the scapegoat, the lost child but can become an aggressor. Faith is a recognition seeker but can be perceived as the aggressor too when those two interact. In the blocking roles groups, we also have Peter who is a monopolizer, an entrepreneur. Jeff, Dany and Scarlet are the group observers; more passive they are silent members most of the time. France is an information seeker and an orienter; she is a strong facilitative member with Jeff. Finally, Dominique, the diagnostic analyzer and Blanche, the mascot, are harmonizers. Even though the roles can change and will at some point during the day and the stage, this group will usually keep their role pretty stable from one meeting to…

    The group that I choose to observe was an AA group that is located in Pearland TX, and meets every Wednesday and Sunday from 7:00pm to 8:00 pm. The group meets at a church called Central Church of Christ. During my initial visit, I made sure I arrived 30 minutes early to talk to the facilitator and ask permission to observe. I was actually very impressed to speak to the facilitator Nadine she could not disclose her last name as the individuals that are participating and herself wished to maintain anonymous. I did learn that Nadine aside from being a recovering Alcoholic is also a master level educated individual and has been sober for fourteen years. In the beginning of my observation, Nadine had a tray full of chips, that the member get to…

    According to Carol Travris in “Individuals in Groups,” people behave differently when faced with danger when they are alone than when they are in groups. Psychologists believe that the cause of this phenomenon is that people always think there are others who will take the responsibility instead of themselves. This particular idea people have when they are in groups called “diffusion of responsibility” or “social loafing.” In my opinion, the “social loafing” has caused a lot of troubles and leaded the society into a dangerous and desperate situation.…

    Sapienza and colleagues (2002) sought to explore the effects of a high-intensity, low-repetition expiratory muscle strength training method in 40 healthy high school band players. The participants included 18 males and 22 females who were non-smokers and uneducated in expiratory strength training. The authors indicated the average age of participants was 21 years old, which is inconsistent with the age of high school students. The participants were assigned to a control or treatment group with 7 males and 7 females in each control group. There was no description regarding participant assignment procedures, therefore it is unknown if randomization occurred. The treatment group trained 5 days per week for 2 weeks under supervision. The findings…
