Q

What are the 5 stages of group development in terms of member function?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. parallel
  2. project
  3. ego-centric cooperative
  4. cooperative
  5. mature
23
Q

Across the 5 stages of group development in terms of member function, the amount of leader being present decreases from parallel to mature. true or false

24
Q

What is the “parallel” member function group development stage purpose?

Study These Flashcards
A

provide an environment where individuals work or engage in activities independently, but within the same space

  • develop basic social skills and awareness of others in a non-interactive way
25
What are the participants like in the "parallel" member function group development stage?
- very limited social skills
26
What are the key features of the "parallel" member function group development stage ?
- little interaction between members - focus on INDIVIDUAL tasks --> NO work amongst members, leader gives all direction
27
What is the "project" member function group development stage purpose?
promote interaction between members in the context of completing a simple task - allows for some degree of cooperation and sharing of materials ex: in partners work on a puzzle
28
What are the participants like in the "project" member function group development stage?
- slightly higher level of cognitive functioning than parallel groups - still need structure and guidance
29
What are the key features of the "parallel" member function group development stage ?
- members can work together on a short-term cooperative task - interaction is facilitated but not required - leader gives all instructions but still some peer-peer work
30
What is the "ego-centric cooperative" member function group development stage purpose?
- help individuals develop and express their own needs, while also learning to meet the needs of others in a group context - encourages more complex interactions and group problem solving
31
What are the participants like in the "ego-centric cooperative" member function group development stage?
- engage in more complex social interactions (adolescents or adults with developmental delay or mental health difficulties)
32
What are the key features of the "ego-centric cooperative" member function group development stage ?
- greater emphasis on collaboration, sharing responsibility, and group-decision making - encourage members to develop sense of group identity and work towards shared goals - leader gives less direction and focuses more on how group is interacting with one another
33
What is the "cooperative" member function group development stage purpose?
help individuals work together in a more mature and reciprocal manner - primary goal = members develop a sense of mutual respect, empathy, and teamwork while fulfilling group goals and individual needs
34
What are the participants like in the "cooperative" member function group development stage?
- capable of more mature social interactions and group participation
35
What are the key features of the "cooperative" member function group development stage ?
- members work cooperatively to solve problems and achieve common goals - more autonomy to members - leader shifts to providing guidance as needed (still present but not involved in task at hand)
36
What is the "mature" member function group development stage purpose?
- provide a group setting where individuals can engage in fully developed group process (self-regulation, group roles, leadership, collaboration) - focus on supporting individuals in achieving personal growth and improving group dynamics
37
What are the participants like in the "mature" member function group development stage?
fully capable of complex social interactions and independent functioning
38
What are the key features of the "mature" member function group development stage ?
- high level of interdependence - members taking on various roles and leadership responsibilities - problem solving, group decision making, and conflict resolution
39
What are 4 types of groups evident in OT?
1. activity 2. psychoanalytic 3. social systems 4. growth
40
What is an "activity" group?
- small task-directed groups - shared process of doing ex: all volunteer at animal shelter for a pet-drive --> once done, group terminates
41
What are 6 types of activity groups?
1. evaluation 2. task-oriented 3. developmental 4. thematic 5. topical 6. instrumental
42
What are "psychoanalytic" groups?
- more structured very clear group norms and goals - all about achieving personality changes in members by "working through" individual conflicts ex: eating disorder groups
43
What are "social systems" groups?
participation in a group experiences guides exploration of group dynamics ex: sports teams
44
What are "growth" groups?
personal enhancement through the power of the group - peer support or self-help focused - could include education components ex: chronic disease group
45
What are the 4 group assumptions of the Cole's 7 Step model?
1. adaptive occupational functioning can be promoted in group setting 2. group setting is safe and enriched for learning through setting boundaries 3. group leader can teach skills that can be used outside of the group 4. role of leader is determined by theoretical approach used in group (group theory! FoR!)
46
What are the 7 steps of the Cole's 7 Step model? (see slides if you cant remember what each step does)
1. Introduction 2. Activity 3. Sharing 4. Processing 5. Generalizing 6. Application 7. summary
