WEEK six- Tom Denson (Psychology)

I found the lecture today inarticulacy interesting as it touched base with a few important aspects in relationship to humans and their behaviour in a group atmosphere.. Social Physiology is based on groups and how they interact. The idea that as a group people tend to conform to the majority adjusting judgment to be similar to others in order to gain approval to that of participants performing alone. It is thought that people provide useful info on how to behave. Discussion making in a team efforts will encourage large amounts of knowledge to circulate within discussion, and encourage the reliability of one’s acknowledgement allowing room for improvement or correction. It is important to remember that groups don’t do well when they do not share knowledge. Group’s polarization is the group’s attitude. Groups tend to get paralysed when they become one minded having a moderate attitude towards a given topic. Most information shared within a group is that of the acquaintance of the individual.
