POSITIVE GROUP BEHAVIOUR

Mention the types of group
behaviours;
STARTER – Analyze the picture
Definition of Group Behaviour
A social group is a collection of people who interact with
each other and share similar characteristics and a sense of
unity.
Types of Social Groups
On the basis of contact among the member, social groups
are divided into two types:
1. Primary Group
2. Secondary Group.
BENEFITS OF GROUP BEHAVIOUR
COMPANIONSHIP
Members of a group who engage
in collective action serve as
companions to one another. At
such times they feel a sense of
unity, even if that spirit of unity
does not last for long. People put
aside their differences and work
together as one big family to
achieve their objectives.
SURVIVAL: Surviving under
adverse and unusual
circumstances requires that
people cooperate and work
together. This is a benefit of group
behaviour as people are able to
harness the resources for survival
when they act as a group and not
alone.
SECURITY: The activities of a
positive group behaviour do not
threaten members of the
community. Their activities
encourage peaceful co-existence
and guarantee safety in the
society.
AFFILIATION AND STATUS:
Positive social behaviour
strengthens the unity and
relationships among members
of a group and opportunity is
created to develop new
relationships with other
community members.
POWER AND CONTROL: It is easier
to exercise power where people are
properly coordinated. There is
strength in unity of purpose. For
example, when people protested the
Anglo-Nigerian Defence Pact, the
government listened and saved
Nigerians from being further
controlled by Britain. Nigerians till
date enjoy independence from foreign
countries because a group of persons
protested.
ACHIEVEMENT
Group behaviour gives individuals a
sense of achievement. When people
act as a group they are able to
accomplish so much compared to
when they are alone. As an example,
when the women at Aba protested
imposition of poll tax, the
authorities listened to the women
and to this day, women are free from
paying such taxes.
