Essay
10.46. Describe three ways that group work can enhance your life and future.
Answer: The first enhancement group work can bring is with college performance. Considerable
research indicates that college students who study in small groups perform at higher intellectual
levels, learn better, and have better attitudes toward subject matter than those who study alone.
This is probably because studying with others allows you to encounter different interpretations
and ideas. The second enhancement is with career success. The top skills employers say they
seek are the ability to work in a team structure, and the ability to make decisions and solve
problems. These skills are particularly important in today’s global workplace—where you may
be working, face to face or virtually, with people from different countries/cultural backgrounds.
Whether you are in business or another profession, organizations tend to hire and promote those
who have proven they can work well with others. The third enhancement is with one’s personal
life. Most people also participate in at least some small groups outside work. For one thing, most
people communicate with family and friends on a regular basis. In addition, many people serve
on committees in religious or political organizations, and increasing numbers of people join
support groups to deal with crises, life transitions, or chronic health conditions.

coordinate their behavior. The four components are as follows: First is a small number of people.
Most experts agree that three is the fewest number of people that can constitute a small group
and that five to seven people is the optimum upper limit for working groups. In general, small
groups of three (whether working in direct contact or virtually) experience better communication
in terms of openness and accuracy than do larger groups of six. Second is a common purpose.
Sometimes the purpose may be assigned by an instructor or employer—a semester-long course
project, completing a marketing research study for a client, or working together to recommend a
candidate for a job. Having a clear purpose or goal is important and is directly (positively)
related to group productivity and increased team performance. Third is a connection with each
other. People in work groups need to experience a group identity and recognize their
interdependence because when members do not feel a sense of connection, the group won’t
function as it should. Fourth is an influence on each other. Members of small groups need to
coordinate their behavior, and in doing so, they may exert influence on each other. This influence
can be positive or negative, and each group member contributes to the success or failure of the
whole group.

10.48. Describe the three types of small group communication roles and provide examples of
each.
Answer: The three types of communication roles are task, relational, and individual. Task roles
are roles that are directly related to the accomplishment of group goals. These communication
roles often involve seeking, processing, and evaluating information. For example, one of these
roles is the initiator–contributor, who proposes new ideas or approaches to group problem
solving. If, in a group, the members are struggling to solve a problem based on one idea, the
initiator–contributor offers expertise in looking at the problem through a different lens.
Relational roles are roles that help establish a group’s social atmosphere. Members who
encourage others to talk or mediate disagreements are filling relational roles. For example, a
harmonizer mediates disagreement among group members. If a harmonizer witnessed two
members arguing over an idea, he or she could propose a compromise or suggest listening to
both ideas instead of simply arguing the merits of each. Individual roles are roles that focus more
on individuals’ own interests and needs than on those of the group. This tends to be
dysfunctional to the group because these individuals tend to be uninvolved, negative, aggressive,

joke or a story, constantly moving the group off-task.

10.49. Describe how diversity can influence four aspects of group communication and give
examples of each.
Answer: The four aspects of group communication that diversity influences are innovation,
efficacy, group processes, and group enjoyment. With innovation, decades of research by
organizational scientists, psychologists, sociologists, economists, and demographers show that
socially diverse groups (that is, those with a diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual
orientation) are more innovative than homogeneous groups. Having different perspectives means
also having a variety of information sources to apply to a problem or issue. For example, one
study of 122 manufacturing firms showed that diverse top management teams (TMT) had a
strong impact on new product innovativeness (and ultimately enhanced performance). With
efficacy, it seems that building early group cohesion in diverse groups smooths the way to
managing differences in later discussions. There are several ways to accomplish this, including
focusing the group’s attention on the goal of the group and exploring commonalities among
group members. For example, in a college course, diverse group members may discover that they
participate in the same extracurricular sport or social activity and use that foundation to construct
cohesion. With group processes, effective communication by some may reduce isolation and
encourage effort of all group members. For example, one group of researchers randomly
assigned students to task groups so that each group had varying degrees of age, gender, and
ethnic diversity. Ethnic, gender, and age diversity in this study had little effect on the
communication process, but those who preferred more interdependent or collectivistic interaction
participated more and cooperated more in the group, thus having a more positive impact on
group processes. With group enjoyment, enjoyment may be affected by diversity, but it’s also
dependent largely on the communication skills of the group members, which do not always come
naturally. For example, a study examined the experience of college students who worked in
groups that were composed of either (1) mostly whites or (2) mostly ethnic minorities. The
researchers found that minorities and white students all preferred minority-dominated teams to
white-dominated teams. The researchers suggest that some level of collectivism may have been

10.50. What are the three ethical relational guidelines to working in a small group? Provide an
example of each as you consider upcoming group work.
Answer: The three types of ethical guidelines are: (1) those aimed at strengthening group
relationships, (2) those dealing with specific communication practices, and (3) those related to
group decisions. Relational ethics involve demonstrating commitment to the group. Coming to
meetings, participating, and doing your share of the group work demonstrates that commitment.
For example, an ethical small group member in a group project for class would offer a time when
he or she is available and make sure to meet at that time. During the meeting, he or she would
offer insight and help determine his or her role in the project. Outside the meeting, he or she
would make sure to accomplish whatever tasks he or she was assigned to fill. Ethical group
members also work toward communicating truthfully and authentically. Truthfulness includes
being accurate and avoiding exaggeration. Authentic communication that is open and free from
pretense and language that is inclusive and not hurtful to others go a long way in promoting the
kind of group cohesion necessary for group effectiveness. For example, the same student, in
participating at meetings, would be communicating ethically by listening to others’ opinions,
replying in a constructive manner, and not being derogatory toward the individuals themselves or
their background, race, or orientation. A third area of small group ethics concerns the collective
actions of the group members. For example, the student above would have to present his or her
own research or findings, not the work of others that was discovered online or elsewhere. While
finding others’ research may be easier than discovering one’s own, these actions could lead to
consequences for the entire group if he or she chose to plagiarize.
