    Researchers measure individual and group processes through various methods. They observe events directly and record what happens. They also conduct qualitative studies to understand perspectives. Reliability and validity are important to ensure accuracy of measurements. Moreno and Clapp developed early self-report methods. Scientific study of groups requires objectivity, quantification, and control according to Homans. Researchers must be detached observers who numerically measure variables and manipulate some factors to assess impact. Studies of groups can be case studies, experiments, or correlations. Case studies examine real groups in depth over time. Experiments test hypotheses by manipulating variables. Correlations explore relationships between non-manipulated variables. Each method has strengths and weaknesses for understanding group dynamics

    Industrial Psychology and Group Dynamics

    Name: Date:
    Course/Yr/Shift: Activity no.: Q 6.1

    Reading assignment: Chapter 2 Measurement in Group Dynamics

    DISCUSSION – Elaborate/Substantiate fully.

    1. How do researchers measure individual and group processes in terms of the following
    aspects:
     Observation which involves watching and recording events
     Required qualitative studies
     Reliability and validity
     Moreno’s sociometry and Clapp’s methods of self-report measures

    2. What are the three critical requirements of a scientific approach to the study of groups (as
    noted by Homans?) Answer should contain at least 4 to 5 sentences.

    3. What are the key characteristics of and differences between (a.)case, (b.)experimental
    and (c.)correlational studies of group processes?

    4. What are the strengths and weaknesses of case, experimental and correlational methods?
    Answer should contain at least 4 to 5 sentences.

    5. Explain the theoretical perspectives in terms of the following studies of groups:


     Theories that focus on members’ motivations and emotions
     Theories based on Skinner’s behaviorism
     Systems Theory (IPO model)
     Turner’s self-categorization theory (SCT)
     Evolutionary Theory
