Group Dynamics Zusammenfassung

Group Dynamics Donelson R. Forsyth

This revision has been thoroughly updated to reflect late-1990s research as well as the applications to organizational, industrial, educational, judiciary, athletic, and interpersonal settings. Donelson Forsyth builds each chapter around a separate, real-life case example and integrates various perspectives from other disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, education, and political science to achieve a comprehensive analysis of group behaviour. The concepts, woven with pedagogy, teach the students about group dynamics rather than simply exposing them to basic principles and research findings.
