  • Group Dynamics - AS PE
    • A group is defined as two or more people interacting with one another.
    • "Groups are three social aggregates that involve mutual awareness and the potential for interaction.
    • 1) Have a collective identity
    • 2) A sense of shared purpose.
    • 3) A clear structure of communication
    • Successful group
      • Example - New Zealand Rugby Team
      • Have a strong collective identity
      • Have an opportunity to socialise, share goals, ambitions and ownership of ideas.
      • Communicate effectively
      • Strong cohesion
      • Value relationships
      • Successful coaches and leaderships
      • Valued contributions
    • Cohesion - "The extent to which a group sticks together in pursuit of a common goal."
    • Task Cohesion - " The way team members work together to successfully complete a task. E.g a football team sets out to win by adopting attacking features at home or away matches.
    • Social Cohesion - "The personal relationships within a group which relies on individuals enjoying social interaction, e.g strong bond developed whilst on tour. Vital in co-sports.
    • Steiner's Model
      • Actual productivity = Potential productivity - Losses due to faulty processes.
      • Actual Productivity = the team performance at any given time ( due to successful interaction)
      • Potential Productivity =The maximum capability of the group when cohesiveness is strongest.
      • Loses due to faulty processes = Factors that go wrong in team performance which impede/prevent group cohesion
    • Faulty Processes
      • Co-ordination losses
        • these occur when the operational effectiveness of the group can not be sustained for the whole match.
      • Ringlemann Effect
        • Problems with team co-ordination are more likely to increase as the number of team members increase.
      • Motivation Losses
        • This may occur if the tasks too difficult. Also an individual might suffer loss  of motivation causing them to withdraw effort. Leads to a reduction in social loafing.
    • Social Cohesion - "Involves the social relationship within the group. Many groups develop sub-groups. e.g. cliques
    • Social Loafing - "A player 'coasting' thinking that other players will make up for there lack of effort, thinking that there lack of effort will not be noticed.
    • How coaches minimize faulty processes?
      • Lots of practice - know there role and are confident of tactics and strategies.
      • Over learning of set plays
      • Use extrinsic rewards appropriately to optimism motivation
    • Increase Cohesion
      • Establish common goals within a group
      • Shared experiences team bonding
      • Use Rewards
      • Create a desire for success
