1. This question looks at smaller groups. We are taking a look at the social self as it relates to the group. Think about a group you belong to. How did you move from interpersonal to intergroup self-categorization? Explain.
2. As groups go through changes, there is alway unrest in change. As the roles within the group change within the group - it is hard to maintain a sense of order - at least initially. Many formal groups have group rules for new members to help avoid this type of issue. Think about membership rules when you join a gym or when you join some other formal group. Those are in place to help everyone make the transition to new members more smoothly. In informal groups we do not have the same method of dealing with new members - so is there a strategy you can employ in order ease the transition for new members? Thoughts?
