Wk 3 - Analysis of Interpersonal Group

Local Campus Students

During weeks 2-7 you will participate in an Interpersonal Group in Bongo. After each interpersonal group students will write an analysis. The purpose of keeping an analysis of your experience is to foster an awareness and integration of principle concepts related to group theory and leadership skills. Your analysis will require that you remain objective about the group in which you are participating, just as group leaders must maintain objectivity.  This assignment will be graded on your ability to identify group leadership concepts that have been addressed in textbook and handouts as they apply to your group . The analysis should clearly communicate how your group was unique as it developed over time. 

Write a 750-1000 words analysis of your interpersonal group

Possible areas to focus on in future analyses include:

1. Identify changes in relationships. There was a significant change in the relationships due to me being new to the group and no one knew who I was or where I came from. However, everyone was still friendly towards me.

2. How do members interact with the facilitator? In this group there were many facilitators throughout todays group, however everyone looked to (Luptia) for direction.

3. How do members interact with each other? The group interacted well together; most of them have been in other group settings with one another so it felt familiar to them. On the other hand I was kind of out of the loop not know what went on in the group session before which they was able to fill me in but I still felt out of place with not starting with this group.

4. What power issues are present in the group? I really did not observe any power issues; however the group did go over the allotted time, due to some technical difficulties.

5. How is conflict addressed or avoided? I believe that conflict was addressed early on in the group by going over the group guidelines before we got started.

6. What roles are implemented by the leaders? There were no specified roles for anyone each group member took turns reading the questions aloud and each member answered the questions.

7. What member roles do group members assume? From my observation Luptia and Rogue took more of a leadership role whereas Cindy, Dawn, and Nebeur took the roles of group members due to them not jumping in to take lead.

8. Identify therapeutic factors.

Include a minimum of 2 sources to support your analysis.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.
