Recommended: The impacts of the gender stereotype

Working with other students on a group project can sometimes be a huge challenge because some people have a better work ethic than others and feel as if they are doing all the work. While working in groups, it can be hard to spread out the work evenly, and there are normally people who do more work than others. Group projects require good work ethics, teamwork, and good communication among all members. Good communication is a very important factor to have within group projects. Without communication, the project would be unable to be completed because not all the members would have the same ideas or plans in mind. My group has communicated very well throughout the entire semester, which has allowed us to successfully complete the project. We have a group chat, so we can remind each other of meeting times, ask questions, and state plans. Overall, the communication among my group has been very well.

Our topic of finding a relationship between gender stereotypes and mindsets was very challenging to find information on because there has not been studies between the two. Therefore, everyone in the group was struggling with finding articles that related to our research study. I took a lot of time searching for articles on PSYCInfo, but I still failed to find one the related perfectly. Therefore, finding research articles could be something I can work on for next time. Another weakness of mine is not always completely voicing my opinion. I am a shy person that hates to be wrong in front of a group of people. If my group members all agreed on a situation, and I did not, I would often hesitate to speak or not voice my opinion at all. This could hurt my group because my opinion could make other members change their original thoughts and go along with mine instead. In the future, I will be sure to go out of my comfort zone and state what is on my

    I thought the communication for the group I was in was pretty good. We worked together on the entire project and no one shot each others ideas or suggestions down, but we instead listened to what each other had to say and discussed our opinions as a group. Even when we would disagree on something I believe that we all treated each other respectfully and tried to either come up with a compromise or a majority rule of how most of the group felt on a particular issue.

Having the right people in the correct roles is an important factor in measuring the success of a team, where you are united with the other members to complete the main goals. Every group is made up of definite strengths and weaknesses. Our team's 3-5 major strengths necessary to work accordingly consist of Informer, Summarizer, Orienter, Piggy-Backer, and Encourager. One of our strengths as a team is that we get input from everyone involved. Every member of our team is a leader in some way. Part of being a good leader is knowing how important it is to receive the best ideas from each member of their team. We attend group meetings where we discuss any challenges, issues, and problems. At these meetings, we often exchange ideas or brainstorm new ones with each other and come up with the best and most creative team solutions as potential answers to those perceived problems.

  • My Experience Working in a Group as a Group

    Working together with other people for an assignment can be a challenging task in some cases but luckily, I worked well with my group members. The decisions we made were anonymous although we paced ourselves individually when it came to completing our separate parts of the essay. As a group I believe that we connected well on an interpersonal level as all four of us were able to make alterations to any problem together . Furthermore, we did not give each other a chance to get angry at one another as we knew that this would only cause conflict that would disrupt our flow as a group. There was an equal divide in the amount of work that we all did; our contributions were fair and no one was lacking behind. In addition, my group members were great at keeping each other informed if one of us were not able to attend a group meeting; emails were sent out informing us what we missed and ideas that were formulated. Everyone in my group worked according to deadlines and in synchronization with each other; we did not have to nag anyone to complete work or wait on a member to complete their task.
