First,An example of small group conflicts can be observed in the television show Pretty Little Liars. In this show, a friend group that consists of four girls often have conflicting thoughts about who their aggressor could be and what they could do to identify this person while also remaining vigilant. Although they have moments of bickering and disagreements, the girls always find a way to come together and strategize their next steps, even under great turmoil. A conflict management strategy that is used throughout the show to aid in these disagreements is supportiveness. Supportiveness refers to “…a group that is characterized by openness, absence of fear, and a genuine feeling of equality” (DeVito, 2020). The characters in the show portray these attitudes towards one another when trying to protect each other and ensuring every person’s ideas in the group is being considered. Scripted conflicts such as this may inform viewers of tactics that can be used successfully in real-life scenarios. Even though some shows exaggerate their acting, there can be important messages embedded into the show that could be beneficial for viewers to observe and learn about.Second,In the book “A small group is (1) a collection of individuals who (2) are connected to one another by some common purpose, (3) are interdependent, (4) have some degree of organization among them, and (5) see themselves as a group” (Devito,2019). This shows that small groups develop their own group cultures; the cultures can be pleasant, aggressive, hostile, and demeaning. Groups also develop norms which are informal rules for group interaction created and sustained through communication. The group norms tell us how we are supposed to act within a group. Most of the group norms aren’t purposely established. A common norm would be if someone arrives late to a group meeting but no one tells them anything the rest of the group may begin showing up late to meetings. This video I uploaded tells you how the group interacts with each other. The issue was no one wanted to go to Lake House for a bachelorette except one of the ladies and the rest wanted Vegas. The interaction was running between three to 5 people who are working together to achieve an interdependent goal. It involves sending verbal and nonverbal signals that are perceived, interpreted, and responded to by other people. Group members pay attention to each other and coordinate their behavior in order to accomplish the groups’ assignment.
