Group Dynamics Cross Word
Across
- 3. (1 word): The closeness of an authority figure to the person being influenced, where greater physical closeness can make an individual more likely to obey with instructions or orders.
- 4. (3 words): A theory that views social interactions as a series of exchanges where individuals weigh the costs and benefits of their actions and make decisions based on maximising rewards and minimising costs.
- 8. (1 word): The act of following direct commands or orders from an authority figure, even if those orders may conflict with personal values or beliefs.
- 11. (3 words): The influence of others that leads people to conform because they believe the group’s perspective or behaviour is correct or appropriate, often in uncertain or unfamiliar situations.
- 12. (2 words): Unwritten rules or expectations about how people should behave in a given society or group. These norms dictate acceptable behaviours and can vary across cultures or contexts.
- 13. (2 words): The effect that an increase in the number of people present has on the likelihood of individuals conforming, as larger groups can make it more difficult to stand out or resist collective behavior.

- 7. (1 word): Adopting behaviours or beliefs to align with a group that one values or wishes to be part of. The change is generally temporary, as the person may revert to their original behaviours once leaving the group.
- 9. (1 word): The tendency to adjust one’s behaviour or beliefs to align with the group, often in response to real or imagined group pressure.
- 10. (1 word): Adjusting one's behaviour to match the group, while secretly disagreeing with their actions or beliefs. This change is often temporary and motivated by a desire to avoid conflict or gain approval.
